November 25, 201213 yr Just wondering what to expect far as weight loss. This question is for all of you Post Op followers. How much weight did you drop in the first few months?
November 25, 201213 yr I am slow looser so I am loosing around 15 lbs per month. check my signature for details.
November 25, 201213 yr I am slow looser so I am loosing around 15 lbs per month. check my signature for details. 15 lbs per month is NOT slow! Take a look at my signature......over time, I would LOVE to be losing 15 per month on average! Everyone is different. Honestly, it doesn't matter how fast you're losing, as long as you stay on track and losing weight over time. There will be stalls, count on it!, But over time, you will get to goal! Keep the faith and you'll be successful!
November 25, 201213 yr I agree everyone is different. Don't concentrate on the weight loss but concentrate on getting your protein and fluids in. And whatever you do walk, walk, and walk some more.
November 25, 201213 yr I've lost 70 lbs had my surgery on oct 10 never thought I would have lost that much that quick
November 25, 201213 yr I've lost 70 lbs had my surgery on oct 10 never thought I would have lost that much that quick I was sleeved Oct 10th also and have lost 40 lbs total. Only 20 since surgery. 70 lbs is phenomenal what was your starting weight? Mine was the starting weight 272 lbs!
November 25, 201213 yr I lost 21 lbs my first month and then lost about 8 lbs a month thereafter. I am still losing after 11 months. It's about 3-4 lbs a month. I have lost a total of 95 lbs.
November 25, 201213 yr I'm six months out and I've lost 85 pounds. The first few months the weight comes off really fast then it tapers off. Doesn't come off as well the further out you are. I'mhappy with my loss. I know everyone is different. I have to say I agree with the others here. Fifteen pounds a month is not slow but I see you are only two months out. It will probably slow some the further out you are.
November 25, 201213 yr The first couple of months things the weight usually comes off fairly quickly and then slows down to a more steady pace, with maybe a few stalls along the way. I was down about 32 the first month, 15 lb each of the next two months and then 10 lb per month thereafter until goal (a total of 105 lb lost). Any weight loss from the quicky pre-op diets (1-2 weeks or less) that some docs impose should usually be counted in that first month's loss since physiologically the rapid weight loss starts when you start the serious weight loss effort and experience a major caloric deficiency, and not just at the date of surgery.
November 25, 201213 yr Just wondering what to expect far as weight loss. This question is for all of you Post Op followers. How much weight did you drop in the first few months? I'm three weeks out , starting weight was 363 now I'm at 304 . It feels like its coming off slowly but that's the psychological part of it . I have a fear of not loosing anymore or my scales being wrong . Lol
November 25, 201213 yr That sounds amazing for 3 weeks!!! I think they say the heavier you are the quicker it comes off . Also I lost 15lbs prior to surgery.
November 25, 201213 yr Ive lost a total of 51 pounds in 4 months-start weight August - 278, DOS Oct 11 - 255.5, 6 weeks post-op - 227! The weight is coming off in spurts for me. The scale won't move for 5 days then suddenly it will go down 1-1/2 - 2 pounds a week. I try to weigh myself only every 4 days, if not once a week. I find if I don't drink enough water, the loss is less. Fast or slow it works! I can wear my boots and jeans again-last winter back to skirts only-jeans too uncomfortable! Slow and steady wins the race. Remember to celebrate your success-the goal weight isn't the be all end all, enjoy the journey, too!
