I'm just curious - at 7 weeks post-op, what was everyone's weight loss and what kind of exercise were you doing?

There's no magic answer. Every one is different. Different height, weights, body types, etc... Some people lose fast, some people lose slow.

This question comes up probably once at day. You could do a search and find tons of threads asking this very same question with just as many answers.

At 7 weeks, I was losing weight at my fastest.... about 4lbs a week. I hadn't done any strenuous exercises, only the doctor recommended walking - 30 minutes a day. I wanted to be very sure I was well on my way to healing before pushing my exercise limits.

I was sleeved February 18th. HW 254, SW 242, CW 218. I'm 5'9 and 42 years old. I've walked 5 to 6 times a week making my way from a mile to three miles now. I walk the 3 miles in an hour. I'm now losing at a rate of 2 lb per week. I've lost a total of 72 inches (I measure EVERYWHERE). I can bend over and pick up something in my car floor board now. Those types of NSV'S are what I enjoy most. I've also gone from a size 22 to an 18.

I am nine weeks post surgery. STarting weight 237.9. Day of surgery 218. Current weight 190. I exersize 6 days a week. I walk on the treadmill or do the elliptical 40-60 minutes and lift weights. My doctor had no restrictions so I have been working out since one week post op, just didn't do abs and of course duration and intensity has steadily increased.

Oh I should add that I am 63 years old and retired so I have lots of time to exersize! : ). I am 5' 6"

Hi

I am 7 weeks post op almost at the 8 week mark

I was SW211 CW is 174 I have been walking since 2 week mark and started adding in some jogging at week six, this week I started some interval running with my walking I workout 30 to 40 mins 6 days a week I am 43 I have a stall for 2 weeks then I have a huge loss like in the last 9 days I lost 4kgs!

Mine was a revision surgery. I only lost 19.5 pounds at 8 weeks post op. I have barely exercised because of a bone spur in my foot has made it very painful to walk. I'm hoping to get it treated in a couple of weeks so I can start my walking again. I still think my weight loss will be slow even with the exercise but my goal is to try to lose 8-10 pounds a month.

Lsf what's a revision surgery? So curious...

I had the lapband in 2008 and just had it removed on 2/4 and had the sleeve done at the same time. From all the posts I've been reading, those that have had the "revision" surgery are not losing as fast as those that are having the sleeve. But I also had an easier time adjusting because I had been through it before with the band
