HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ALL LOST IN THE FIRST MONTH

Just wondering what everyone lost in their first month? I stalled at my 2 week mark until this week. I have lost about 25 lbs, and I have been pretty bummed out. Just wondering what everyone else has gone through, and if this is normal??

Thank you!!!

    I had my surgery four weeks ago tomorrow and have been stalled for two and a half weeks. It's driving me absolutely crazy. TOM started yesterday, so I blame that for the last few days, but it's still

  • 16 pounds in first month. I'm 6 weeks today and down 18. Lost 4 inches off my waist- that means as much to me as the overall pounds.

  • I am 1 month today. I have lost 22lbs. I stalled at week 3 but the scale is moving again! Yay!

I will be one month this Friday. I lost 22 pounds post op. I don't know about any stalls. I weigh myself at my post op appointments. I enjoy the fact that I feel good and I feel my body changing. My next appointment is in a month and plan to work this sleeve n and plan until then.

Well, the good thing is.. keep losing this much a month and you will be down 100 pounds in 4 months! 25-30 pounds is amazing, and think how much you would have lost without? 2 pounds a week, if you were lucky!

17 down since surgery and most of that was the first week, was stalled for 3 weeks and the scale is only inching down 1 pound here .5 pounds there I must say I'm very disappointed. I'm 6 weeks today and just thought I'd see better numbers. I have an appt this Thursday with my surgeon and NUT and I can't wait so far my NUT said to cut down on my cardio and I should see the scale move ???? really....so that's where I'm at!!!

@ reginasjourney how many calories do you consume a day. How much carbs protein and fat do you get in. Are you exercising and are you eat regular foods or still on soft. I'm just curious because your doing amazing and mine is coming off soooo slow

@4mnurse I am getting around 800 to 1000 calories but it's on the lower side. I walk and do water aerobics 3 times a week. When I do that I up my calories because I am biting what I eat. I stalled for about 10 days and then I up the protein and it started to come off again. Hopes this helps.

I am 2 weeks out and I have lost about 7 pounds. I am not expecting to lose weight quickly. I am 4'11", started with a low BMI, and I have hypothyroidism. If I can lose about 8 pounds a month, I will be a happy camper.

@ reginasjourney I too eat 800-1000 calories a day doing 40 minutes of cardio 5 days a week and I consume 80-100g of protein a day but still the weight is coming off too slow for me. I'm so frustrated.....

M4nurse everyone weight loss is different. I have a lot to lose. Just keep doing what u are doing it will come off. Maybe call your Nut. And get some help there. Stay positive we are all on this journey together:)

@ reginasjourney I know everyone's weight loss is different I just feel like at this point I should've seen more results I've spoken to my NUT twice and will physical meet with her this week at my dr appt I have to be honest I'm really starting to regret this permanent situation thanks and I will try to stay positive continued luck and blessings to you!
