How much weight did you loose in the first 4 weeks?



Recommended Posts

At 4 weeks about 25, today is my 8 week Anniv. And I'm only down 39 total since surgery. Almost 40 in 8 weeks is great compared to a "normal" diet, but a bit disappointed because I see some amazing numbers others drop the first 1,2 and 3rd months. I go see my Dr. For a follow up on Friday. Wonder what he will say??

I lost exactly 32 in the first 4 weeks. The last 2 weeks were definitely slower than the first 2, though. I think us gentlemen tend to lose more quickly at first, though.

As has been said ad nauseam here-- everyone is different, so don't feel like you have to "measure up" to other people's results! As long as you are following the plan that has been put before you, even if the weight loss is slower than you'd like, then you're doing it right!

Proud of all of you! Keep up the great results and keep being the inspirations you are!

I'm not even 3 weeks post-op but I lost 8 pounds the week before surgery, 7.8 pounds my first week after surgery, 7.4 the second week after surgery, and I am still losing about 1 pound per day. I was just OKed to go back to the gym yesterday so hopefully I can keep that rate up for a while!

I am one month and one day out from surgery. I have lost a total of 31.6 pounds. 10lbs from the one week liquid diet before surgery and 21.6 since surgery :)

At 4 weeks I was about 28 lbs down. Is your ticker since surgery? If so, than it looks like you're right on track! Don't worry - be patient. It might go slower than you think it should or than you want, but remember that you didn't gain it overnight either!! :)

Ten days ago I weighed in at the hospital at 243. Six days later (when I was finally feeling okay) I thought, "let's jump on the scale and see what is happening". It read 224.

I about died. 19lbs in six days.

I don't know if I had a heavy stomach organ.... Or what. Lol! But after reading this thread, that seems very abnormal. Since then, I have lost about a pound. (Stall?) I get my Protein and Water in, so that can't be it.

I'm anxious to hear what the doc says when I meet with them on Monday.

I was thinking my op had been over 4 weeks ago but just realised when I did my ticker that I am infact only just over 3 weeks out since surgery, In those 3 weeks I have lost on average about 5lb a week with the first being almost double that so I guess its not as bad as I had originally thought.

I have been stuck at 200 lbs since the beginning of the month. Has anyone had a plateau for a while like that? I have lost 42 lbs since October and I don't think I'm having the best results. Any advice?

I had a 3 week stall and then I upped my food intake just a little and started my exercise program. I exercise twice a day for 25 minutes. Walking on treadmill and stationary bike. Since I started this....the weight has been falling off at about 5 pounds per week. But...more than the weight loss...my body is morphing. Even during the stall my body was changing. So, life after surgery isn't just all about the numbers...muscle tone, shape and other benefits have to be considered.

I just hit 4wks from the date I was sleeved, but they had to go back and do an emergency hernia removal 3days later so I didn't lose anything the first week after surgery.

I have lost 29lbs since surgery

      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? 🤷‍♀️
