I’m 9 weeks out of surgery and weigh myself 1 time a week. What’s your average weight loss per week? Thanks!

That’s actually what I’m averaging as well. But we don’t want it to go to fast either (saggy skin lol [emoji23]) working out but don’t think I’ll catch up to prevent it.

yea got the saggy skin at this point and increasing as my gut has finally started to catch up with the rest of my body shrinking. I like DR.V'S take on saggy skin " you have to get there to earn the saggy skin" so i carry it with pride cause it means i "got there"

That's a great way to look at @allwet! I'm going to try to adopt that perspective. I'm averaging 2-3 lb per week at the moment but I'm sure it'll start slowing more in the near future. As long as the scale is travelling in the right direction, I'm happy xx

Hi there! I'm in the preop process. With 200 pounds at the moment, how much should I expect to loose by the 6 months?

Sent from my LGMP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Depends on how much of that 200 pounds is excess weight. how tall are you? what should you weigh for your height? you can lose 50 to 100 percent of excess weight depends on your medical condition and your determination to stick to plan for as much as 2 years. It varies by a wide margin the average weight loss of 60 percent of excess weight means half lose less than 60 percent but the others do better. No way for me or anyone else to know what side of average you will land on.

i will say it is worth it. The weight will steal your very life from you pound by pound.

I never lost 10 lbs ever. Single digits only. Mostly in the 4-6 lb range a month. For the first 4 months I lost oz EVERY DAY. Then I had a stall around then, which lasted a couple weeks, then again, ounces down every day. Then at around 6-7 mos out, I started stalling almost weekly. Now I can spend a week or more on the same 2 lbs. down, up. Then suddenly I drop 3 lbs and then hover on thst weight a while. It’s weird. Almost 10 mos out. Getting close to goal. Eating more, but working out too. Feeling around for how to keep dropping weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
