Weight loss at 6 weeks post op

What was your weight loss at 6 weeks post op? And what do you feel contributed the most to your weight loss besides having the gastric sleeve?

I will be 6 weeks on Thursday. So far I've lost 21 pounds. Weight on day of surgery was 245. I'm trying hard not to compare myself to others, as I see some who lost way more (and some less), but they may have been at a much different starting point than me. As for what else contributed to my weight loss...not sure. I haven't been exercising much. I seem to lose more on days that I restrict carbs to minuscule amounts. How much have you lost?

I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and as of this morning I am down 25 lbs. I have just started exercising this week. I feel like my weight loss has been a little slow but as long as the scales are moving down I'm happy. I was 255 on the day of surgery and currently 230. I make sure to get all of my Water and Protein in everyday. I limit my carbs and sugar.

Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks out too. I was 267 the day of surgery and I'm 239 today so I'm 28 pounds down since day of surgery but 41 pounds down, including the weight I lost pre-op on the liquid diet. I don't know what the key is, other than the sleeve. I have no appetite, I do try to get in at least 67 oz of Water daily, but I don't eat much and when I do, it's usually Protein shakes or tuna or egg salad. I do struggle with eating every three hours but I'm doing what works for me. This week, I've added cottage cheese with blueberries for Breakfast as opposed to a shake and I've been exercising on my tread climber for 30 minutes at least 4 days a week. I'm happy with my weight loss and would like to continue to average 3-4 pounds a week however, I've decided I've done all I can do. I have had the surgery, and now, I'm just going to live, eat and pray! LOL Time is our friend and in 6 months I want to be one of the ones at a weight that I'm thrilled with, whatever it may be. Until then, I've decided to put my head down, eat like I intend to the for the rest of my life and let my tool do it's job. No more "in 3 months I'll be this, or in 8 months I'll be that" thinking for me. I'm sick and tired of dieting and I've decided to start living.

Good luck everyone!

I'm 6 weeks. Was 273 surgery and 238 now. Feeling great. Only had something stuck twice. Not a nice feeling.
