One Year of Weight Loss--Graphed!



Recommended Posts

(See graph below! You can click the picture to make it larger. I also added as an attachment as some people seem to have trouble viewing picture.)

Oodles of people have asked what the weight loss is like before/after surgery. I've been keeping track on MyFitnessPal for over a year. Unfortunately, I can only show up to one full year back.

My starting weight is Dec 13/Jan 14 was 315lbs. I began changing my eating/exercise even before my first weight loss surgery consultation.

My weight on my surgery date (July 28, 2014) was about 245lbs. I had lost about 50lbs before surgery (about 20 during the pre-op!)

The weight loss after being sleeved is pretty darn rapid. I've been eating about 1,000 calories per day and exercising 3-5 times per week and burning (according to heart rate monitor) between 400-700 calories per workout.

As you can see...stalls happen, they're normal, and they do end. I typically weigh myself once per week. I hit the dreaded three-week stall right at three weeks post-op and it lasted about a month. It sucked, but ended. :)

I am now around 165lbs. That's about 140 lbs since I started my healthier lifestyle in mid-January 2014 and about 7 months since being sleeved.

Best of luck to everyone on their journey.

Thanks! The weight loss didn't feel nearly as fast pre-op as it did post-op, but I averaged about 10lbs per month and it does add up quickly! That's roughly 2 lbs per week, which doesn't seem like much.

Good luck on your goal and do share when you get there!

Whoa!

Really love it. Thanks.

I've got the same stats (daily) on MFP.

And like others, I've also recorded Excel spreadsheet data for weekly / monthly weigh-ins.

What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!! And congratulations on your weight loss! I can't wait until I'm there! I'm a little like you, my start weight when I seen my surgeon for the first time was 306! So far I've lost 11 lbs., and my fourth weigh in is next week! I'm anxious to see what the scale says next week!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
