Did anyone lose weight 6 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I read that I may not lose any weight 6 weeks post op and I was just wondering if anyone else did?

Seems weird to me to not eat anything for weeks and not lose weight!

I'm almost 6 weeks postop and have lost about 15 pounds. I think they say you may not lose weight in this time period because your body goes through a lot during the healing process, and most people don't have restriction until they get fills. As usual though, everyone is different and some may lose loads of weight, while others may not lose any at all.

I'm almost 7 weeks out. I've lost 26 pounds since surgery, but have plateaued and haven't lost anything for about 2 weeks. I'm going tuesday for a fill to hopefully jump start my weight loss again.

I am 12 days post-op and I have lost around 8.5lbs. I know they say not to expect weight loss initially because your body has to adjust and there is Water weight....but I too can't imagine not losing because we are consuming so little.

It's good to see how much you all are losing and in what time frame. It gives me something positive to look forward to because....honestly....This liquid diet is very hard!!!! I want to eat what everyone else is eating. But, hey! I guess that is what got me in this position in the first place.

Lots of luv,

Monique :scared2:

I have lost 17 lbs since my surgery. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago, I called and made another appointment for tomorrow because I do not feel hardly any restriction and still feel hungry after eating. I feel I am doing my part and I want my band to do it's part. Hopefully I will get another fill tomorrow that will help.

I am 3 weeks post op and I have lost about 24lbs.... I don't feel like I have any restriction but I am not hungry at all... So I don't eat very much at all - under 1000 calories a day. I am trying real hard follow my guidelines (pureed and soft foods)...I am now ready for easy to chew foods -- nothing really tough.

Just don't overdue - get lots of protein!!

I'm only 12 days post-op but I've managed to gain 3lbs. I'm not too concerned about it though as it's likely Water weight. I lost a stupid 30lbs in 30 days pre-op and my body was not pleased about it at all. I think it needs a little breather time. Once I get back to work and out doing field work again, I'm sure things will get rolling again.

I'm 10 days post op, and according to my doc's scale, I've only lost a pound since surgery. According to my home scale, I've lost 4 pounds...I have to admit, it is really bugging me. I'm hardly eating and doing everything I'm supposed to do - pre-surgery, I was losing weight steadily and now, nothing.:scared2:

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and I have to believe the scale will eventually start moving again.

I was banded on 10/21 and I've lost about 10. I'm glad I saw this thread-- I was just wondering what the average was, since I'm on freaking 600 calories a day--I should hope I'm losing weight LOL! I hope time goes faster until I get my first fill in December! I would love to be down 30 lbs come Christmas, but I'm not even sure what's realistic because I know everyone is so different! Good luck to everyone!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
