Post Op weight loss

[LauraLei101 1]

Hi! I was wondering - I know all weightloss is individual to that specific person .. But I was looking for an idea of what people with my general stats lost post op! I'm pre op scheduled for 11/12 and am just curious how everyone has done! I'm 5'5" and my current weight is 253lbs!

I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and have lost a total of 35 lbs. I lost 18 of it during 2 week pre op diet.

I am 5' 5" I was 238 on my day of surgery. I am a little over 5 months out. The first couple of months I could loose 22lbs a month. I think I'm at 12lbs a month now. I now weigh 156.

Wow!! I imagine you've done very well sticking to the after surgery diet progression?? What was your biggest challenge??

The diet progression was fine. I knew the stages were temporary until the food stage. My dietician has modified my diet a bit to add healthy carbs to stabilize my blood sugar.

My biggest challenge....I think getting out of the honeymoon stage and hitting reality. At first the weight came off pretty easy. I got to relaxed and comfortable. I woke up. I had great input on this sight as well as my local support groups. I know that I will only get out of this surgery what I put into it.

Wow you're surgery is right around the corner. I'm excited for you. The journey begins:)

Hey! My start weight was 223lbs. Since my 6 month diet and surgery, I've 49lbs! I just have another 49 to reach my goal. At this point, I am doubting that it will take me a year to reach my goal weight. It's a lot of work, but oh so worth it!
