How Much Did You Lose 1 Month Post Op



Recommended Posts

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?

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 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!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
