How Much Did You Lose in Month 2?



Recommended Posts

So I am now officially one month post-op! I know the losses slow down now, and I'm wondering what I can expect from month 2, especially wanting to look good for the holidays, etc.

I know everyone's experience is different, but I'm wondering how much you all lost in your second month? I'm hoping for 10 lbs.

Thanks!

I am six days away from my two month mark. I have lost 19 pounds in my second month so far. I think 10 pounds is very doable for sure. Just stick to your eating and exercise plan and it should happen.

From what I've read I think that's possible, but even if it doesn't happen, just think about how great you'll look next year!

I lost nothing in my second month, not an ounce! I lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet, 15 pounds my first month, nothing my second month and I'm two weeks into my third month and have lost two pounds. I can't tolerate any of the Protein shakes or powders so it's harder for me.

I lost 24 pounds the second month. It slowed down a bit from the first month but it's also a great time to start upping your work outs! I workout 5-6 days a week for 1-2 hours a day and I haven't had a month where I've lost less than 11 pounds. It really does help prevent any major stalls :)

My post-surgery stall started at 3 weeks (like many people) and lasted almost a month. I lost about 3-4 pounds the second month.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
