when to expect the most weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 5 weeks out and can't work out until the full 5 weeks have passed. I have lost weight since pre op it has been really slow and I'm noticing I'm keeping a 2 pound difference of weight on me most of the time. I'm just wondering after my sleeve heals up and the swelling stops when can I expect to experience the most weight loss in my first year. To be truthful I may not be eating as much as I should and I get anxiety about the things I'm eating. I'm so tired of Powerade zero's and and crystal light at times doesn't really make me feel good after drinking it. To be honest even when I may nibble on some things I shouldn't be eating it doesn't taste good and I just try and stick with what I'm suppose to have but like most people carbs mess everything up for me. At times it seems like I'm going crazy because I had the surgery to assist me,and at 4 weeks and half I'm not feeling full as much as I used to. So after all my rants is there a certain time frame you can expect to see the most weight loss?

I haven't had mine yet but have started half liquid and half lean and green diet to help stop craving. I have a nutritionalist at my Dr's and can call for help if I get frustrated. Do you have a local support group you can go to? Stay on track and hang in there.

For me, my first six weeks was my most weight lose. I had my surgery in Dec. I am eight months out and went from size 22 to size 12. Everybody is different and will lose at different rate.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
