How Much Weight Did You Lose Before Surgery?



Recommended Posts

From my first appointment at the weight management department, until my last weigh in at the hospital just before surgery, I lost 43 pounds. How about you?

15 so far. I have about 2 1/2 months to go before surgery. Hope to lose 25+ by surgery date.

I started the process at 39.9 BMI so I had to maintain it, which sounds ridiculous and honestly not much work. That said, between the time that they submitted paperwork and the surgery (2-3 weeks; it was a quick turnaround) I lost at least 4 pounds, and maybe more like 10. I don't know because they didn't weigh me the morning of. At the last appointment a few days before I'd lost 4 pounds, but I was on a liquid diet the last 5 days so it was probably more than that.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
