Rate of weight loss

[kimpossible80 25]

I know everyone's rate of weight loss is different. I've lost 10 pounds in the 2 weeks since my surgery. Is that average? I feel like it's on the slow side. I'm only consuming 600-800 calories a day and walking every day. How is everyone else doing?

kimpossible80...sounds like you are doing great as far as I have read on here with gastric sleeve patients...keep up the good work!!!

That's about what I did (12 lbs) the first 2 weeks. I was sleeved 3/24 and have just started walking. Saw the NUT yesterday and she said that is right on track.

Thanks! I know I'm too focused watching the number on the scale!

You are doing fine. Don't get bogged down too much with the numbers on the scale. Feel how your clothes fit, how light u will start feeling , how much more energy you will have as time goes by. Remember u r doing this for the rest of life., it will take time for concrete lifetime changes, so go slow with your weight loss journey. Weigh and measure your food, be aware of head hunger as it pops its ugly head sometimes, figure out what your bread hunger triggers are, exercise consistently. Concentrate on these changing and the weight loss wil follow.

Oh, I hear you. Addicted!!! I'm currently 1 pound heavier than my husband. Weighing less than him will be my first milestone. Lol!!!

I'm so glad I logged on today and saw this question posted because I was wondering the same exact thing. I'm two weeks post op as of yesterday and I'm about 12 lbs. lost since pre op. I'm waking between two and three miles a day and I feel amazing but would love to see the scale begin to move again

Thanks for posting this question and good luck

I had my surgery on the 27 of March and I have lost 14lbs but I haven't been counting my calories I'm only able to get a fourth of a cup down at a time.I've been walking everyday it's amazing though even just that little bit of weight off how much energy I have

I'm glad to have found this post, too. It's the reason I signed up for this site. I had my gastric sleeve on 3/12 -- I weighed 291 on day of surgery. Now, 27 days later I'm only down to 282. Nine pounds in 27 days -- isn't that awfully slow? I'm eating 800-1000 calories a day. I emailed my nutritionist with copies of my food journals for some insight. I'm so discouraged. I don't want to have gone through all of this and not lose significantly.

I kept thinking maybe this is like the notorius "week 2" on The Biggest Loser, but where is my rebound?? Help!

First off congrats to all. I'm not yet A week out my surgery was 4/3. I'm down 8 pounds since surgery ive been walking but not much. I'm still in a bit of pain, just stopped taking pain meds today, my Dr has me on Water and 8 oz Protein Shakes a day..I tried a couple of bites of Jello yesterday and it hurt quite a bit, needless to say I wont try that again. I have had no hunger my stomach girggles but as soon as I take a drink it stops..I'm struggling with getting all my water in, sometimes it doesn't seem possible..I'm still tired all the time, just starting today to feel a little energy.

I had surgery on October 28, 2013...I weighed 226 and I now weigh 181.( April 9 ). So I have lost 45 lbs in 5 1/2 months. But it seems that I have stopped losing weight. I haven't lost anything in 3 weeks....I wear a size 16/18 but was hoping for a size 12 or even a 14,when I talked to my doctor on have the sleeve. He thought that I would lose down to a size 12 with no problem.... but I wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to get the weigh lose started again.....How long will I lose weight---6, 8 months or up to a year??????

Feeling depressed!!!!!!
