How much weight did you lose..



Recommended Posts

in the first 4 weeks post op?? I'm 8dpo and have lost about 5kgs I think (not sure wat that is in pounds - how do I work that out?)

I really just want to know how much to expect I will lose by the time I go to my follow up apt (averages, as I know everyone is different)....

So what were your numbers???

I'm impatient - can you tell??? :)

That's really good! 1kg is about 2.2 lbs so you've lost about 11lbs. I think it really varies from person to person but remember the first 6ish weeks are for healing. When you switch to solid foods you might stay at the same weight or gain some, totally normal from what I'm told. I lost 20lbs in the first couple weeks but the majority of that was from being so swollen post op that I couldn't get even Clear Liquids in and had to be readmitted for dehydration. I probably wouldn't have lost that much if it hadn't been for that mess.

I can remember it was new years eve and I was exactly 104kg, which was a long held weight (I stalled at every long held weight on the way down, weird huh?). That was 22 days after I was banded on Dec 9 2005 - so 11kg in 3 weeks.

The next time I saw those same people was 3 of march and i had lost exactly 17kg at that stage, I remember that. So that was 6 kg more over the next 9 weeks or so - it slowed down obviously.

By the end of that first year I'd lost 30kg, then I lost about 10 the following entire YEAR and then 1 or 2 more after that.

So I had a nice, encouraging burst of pretty fast weight loss - I mean I'd gotten half of my excess off inside about 6 months - but it took me another 18 months tolose the reast. I steadied out into being a fairly slow loser overal - 2 years to lose 45kg which was 120% of my excess.

And I lost a whopping THREE POUNDS in the first 4 weeks after surgery, LOL. I was so frustrated. But I'm losing now and it's all good. Any time I didn't lose I consoled myself with the wisdom you'll hear here often....At least I wasn't gaining.

I know that I my story is not very typical - due to complications and a stomach that stopped working properly I have lost 50 lbs in the 6 weeks wince my surgery.

But I have also spent about 1 week in the hospital eating primarily from tubes stuck in my arm - oddly enough that was the only week I did not loose weight.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
