its not really the best idea to focus on a goal for the first month, and even two for many. your body is healing and you shouldnt stress it with too much exercise, and your feeding program is pretty defined.

i gained 40lbs

Just let it happen. If you hit the 3 week stall, it will only stress you out more. Just enjoy the process and let your body heal while you work on new healthy eating behaviors.

I lost 20lbs the first month and then stalled for almost 3 weeks. Which I am happy for because losing that much weight in one month kind of freaked me out. I think you set a realistic goal. Good Luck! And all the best!

Iggychic - are you saying you gained 40 pounds the first month after surgery?

I will be 2 weeks out tomorrow (10/25) and so far I've lost 14 pounds. Last night I weighed before I went to sleep, and when I woke up I had lost 1.6 lbs! Weird!

I am slow looser.

For the first month I lost 17 lbs. you can see it in my signature.

First month was 45 lb.

ya pretty impressive isn't it? i had major complications needing two transfusions and lived on tpn and iv nutrition. its all gone (or mostly....i still have a bloated belly from the internal bleeding).

20 pounds first month

Today is 1 month post op for me. I'm down 31 pounds.

My first month went pretty slow. I couldn't understand it since I was barely eating. I lost 11 lbs in the week pre-op, then lost
