How much have you lost 4 weeks out?



Recommended Posts

No not really. I've just been eating what I'm supposed to and staying away from the junk...I haven't even started exercising yet. I think my success so far at the weight-loss is only due to my failures before surgery; if you know what I mean :redface: I weighed in at 403lbs before surgery, so I have quite a bit to lose.

i will be at 4 wks post op tomorrow (banded 4/20)and I seemed to have stalled. I've lost 27 lbs since pre-op. I will have my first fill 6/7 and am ready. Would have been earlier but we're taking a week vacation out of state next week and dr. didn't want me having potential problems in another state! I'm ready for restriction. I am hungry about 2 hrs after eating. I'm still making good food choices 99% of the time. So maybe this is Bandster Hell!!!

At 4wks post op I lost 25lbs... 35lbs from my start date. But my BMI is on the higher side so that accounts for quicker loss. On me I can hardly see that loss but I feel better & I'm more in shape. I was really excercising daily the first few weeks & have since started to slow down (old habits die hard!) But I definitely watch what I eat now that I'm eating regular food with 0cc in my band. I'm happy with any loss as long as its not going up! First fills next week I'm looking forward to the feeling of satiaty bc willpower runs out eventually! =) Everyones different so don't compare yourself too much!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
