How much weight loss by 4 months post op sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I had to go back and check, but I'd lost about 60 by then. Some rocky times since--went up 10 and down 10, which is a relief overall but frustrating.

It may be useful to get an idea, but just be aware that there are a ton of different factors at work, so your mileage will be yours alone--you may lose more quickly or slowly than others, but you will, if you follow the plan, lose.

And, to be honest, I don't care that much about how much I lose and how quickly, as long as I keep it off long-term. That's the real prize here.

Great advice. Thank you, I’m down 72 pounds and May 8th will be my 4 month mark. It must be all in my head because I feel like I’m not where I should be. I’m starting to see that my weight issues are truly a mental thing. I am strictly sticking to the plan and doing everything I should, just was curious where others were.

90 lbs (including the 29 lbs lost on pre op diet) at 4 Months. I’m sure I’ll begin to slow here soon but it’s been rapid so far.

      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.
