How much weight well i loose?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

i had a gastric sleeve surgery on december 10 , my start weight was 222,6 pounds ,within the first week i lost 15.4 pounds and i was so happy but then the loose rate decreased to 4.6 pounds.

i'm scared that the rate will always be this way cause i've over 100pounds to loose.

so can you tell me if this rate is ok?

Everyone loses differently. I have 150 pounds to lose. At first I was losing a pound a day, then I stalled during week 2 and lost nothing. The past 3 weeks, I have lost 4 pounds. Good luck.

hey, like eureka said, everyone looses at a different rate. . .i was a fast loser, the first 7 weeks i lost 53 lbs now in one year I've lost 145 lbs. . . i have a few left. . . which of course is the toughest few lbs ! but i 'll get there, heavens I didn't get fat overnight as i won't lose overnight. . . so far it's taken me 1 year to lose my weight i'm giving myself another 1/2 year to lose the rest, more if i have too. . .but i know i'll never see 350lbs again EVER!! and for that i'm grateful. . . good luck to you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
