Hey everyone, today is my 23rd birthday and it also marks 3 weeks out for me.. today i hit my first 20 lbs lost since surgery (not including pre-op) i was just wondering what everyone lost in their first month post op?? i still have a week left.. i was hoping to lose around 23-25 lbs total for month 1 i dont know if its doable or not considering i stalled for about 10 days.

I havent started exercising yet, my nurse practicioner told me i could do cardio but nothing else... did anyone else exercise in month 1? and if you did how much did u lose?

Somehow I replied to this thread on another one... Lol but here it is again. Happy Birthday! I have been walking everyday since surgery on Feb 14th I walk a min of 2 miles a day but generally 4 ( I have done 8 and will be doing 12 this Sat.) I have lost 15lbs from surgery date I try not to weigh everyday.

hi lovePink

The one thing we can all be sure of during our weight loss journey, is that we will lose weight differently.

some people will lose weight quicker than others (i.e. you men) some people will just have normal stalls, and others will lose at slow but steady rate. It will depend on your metabolism, excercise, and just stuff in general.

So trying to answer your question, I had lost 18 lbs after 3 weeks - which i was happy about. So moving right along, i think the weight you have lost is terrific, and once again, everyoe loses at their own pace - keep on keepon on.

continued best

Happy Birthday! I will be 4 weeks on Monday and have lost 16 pounds. I try to walk 2 miles a day but just started that this week. I did stall for a week and the scale finally moved 1 pound this morning

HAppy HAppy Birthday!!! it is one month fro me today and have lost 20lbs. i walk 2x aday for 15 min with weights on my anckles up and down the 5 flights of stairs at work. plus walk all day at work. i did have a stall for about a week and half.

Happy Birthday! I'm one month and 4 days out and I've lost 30lbs since surgery. Just remember that everyone loses differently and experiences different things at different times. I never stalled, but that's not to say I won't, so my progress may slow. Hang in there, you're doing great!
