What is the average weight loss for the first 30 to 60 days after bypass surgery



Recommended Posts

I have lost 38lbs from 1/3/13 and I haven't been doing much exercise (which I should be doing more) but I'm not trying to drop too fast. My colleague had the surgery and she lost so much weight so fast she didn't like her appearance. She looks much better versus looking cracked out.

Great job on lose of 38 lbs! I had the same worries as you did losing to fast and looking sickly but my surgeon explained , you will only look sickly if you are just losing fat. However, if you go to the gym and build muscle ( 3-4 times a wk) you will shape up and look healthy. So today im joining planet fitness basiic membership $10 a month. God bless

SD 1/14/13.....WL 23. Lbs

I am 7 months post op. Went to my 6 months appointment. I was 298 day of surgery. Now, I'm 225. But I don't look 228 pounds. When I tell people I want to lose 70 more pounds they all think I'm crazy. I told the nurse that I thought that I should be loosing more. She said I'm doing great. The faster you loose is not so great because of extra skin.My highest 320 now 225 I can't complain. Size 26/28 sometimes 30 and now 14/16. I also notice when I exercise I loose faster. I recommend Biggest Loser DVD'S THE BEST. GOOD LUCK.

      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'. ???

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
