How Much Weight Loss The 1St Month?

Hello everyone,

can you share with me how much weight you'll lost the first few weeks after surgery.

I lost 10 lbs the 1st week but my scale has not budged for 1 wk. Eating everything by the book... not sure why I'm stagnating

    Well went into surgery a male, lite weight at 277 lbs and a week after was 260 and now 4 weeks 258 lbs. I don't have trouble eating anything and try to stay around 800 calories. I've been stuck around

  • I have lost about 25 lbs but have not weighed in a few days. SO 1 month post op that is 25 lbs. I am OK with it - I have not stalled so far either.

I lost 30 pounds in the first two 1/2 weeks and I am in the famous 3rd week (going to 4th week) stall right now. Maybe you hit your stall early, but maybe you will jump out quicker. It seems every single person has a different experience. I also got constpated in my 3rd week, maybe that's a factor??? the toughest part for me EVERYDAY is to not compare my ticker with everyone elses. It seems we are used to failure (dieting) and we see these amazing tickers and automatically assume we are doing something wrong. Hang in there... :)

I am five weeks post op (Surgery Jan. 3) and I have lost exactly 25lbs since the date of my surgery.

Well went into surgery a male, lite weight at 277 lbs and a week after was 260 and now 4 weeks 258 lbs. I don't have trouble eating anything and try to stay around 800 calories. I've been stuck around 258-260 for two weeks. Being a lite weight I think it's going to come off real slow for me.

I have lost about 25 lbs but have not weighed in a few days. SO 1 month post op that is 25 lbs. I am OK with it - I have not stalled so far either.

I'm 4 weeks, 2 days out and down 31.

I did have a stall in week three but also had my period that week, so who knows?

I lost 37 pounds in my first month. Stalls are normal just switch the type of foods you eat, excercise and you will break the stall. The rule is that if you keep tricking your body you will keep losing the weight.

I had my surgery on Jan,10 and I hit a stall 2 weeks ago I haven't lost anything for the 2 weeks but I am down 23 lbs and even though that scales not moving I am losing the inches.So im happy with that.Im on the lower end of BMI I weighed 209 day of surgery and we do all lose at different rates keep doing what your doing it will come off.!!!!!
