Amount of weight lost in four weeks?



Recommended Posts

How much weight have you lost in the first 4 weeks post VSG? I have lost about 28 pounds and just curious. What kind of scale do you guys have? Looking for a new, good, accurate one. Thank you.

Tomorrow will be three weeks out for me and I've only lost 10 pounds. I did lose 24 pounds pre-op, though.

I rarely weighed myself that early on, but I dug up some of my old posts and found these stats...

1 week...up 5 pounds

7 weeks....down 17 pounds

10 weeks......still stalled at 17 pounds

After that I lost fairly steady and only had a few 2-3 week stalls along the way. But as you can see if you fast forward, my slow start does not reflect my overall success.....

Down 78 pounds (surgeons goal) at 6 1/2 months

Down 88 pounds (personal goal) at 7 1/2 months

Currently down 97 pounds at 9 months

Just keep on your plan and remember you are in this for the long haul and the numbers on the scale really aren't that important. As for my scale, I don't even own one. I weigh myself once a week on the dog scale at work so I have something to post on here. I weigh fully clothed, with shoes or boots, sometimes in the morning, sometimes after lunch. The accuracy really doesn't matter to me because I measure my success by how I feel, how my clothes fit and NSVs. Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
