Everyone loses at different rates. I lost 23 lb in first month. It the 3 week stahl and the scale just started moving for me again. I am 6 weeks post-op tomorrow. Oh I forgot I had revision from lap band to bypass.

It's different for everyone depending on how much you need to lose and your body. I personally lost 30 pounds the first month after surgery. I'm a 38 year old male who weighed 415 at the time of my vsg surgery.

I had my one month follow up today, I lost 33lbs since surgery.

Anyone else gain huge after surgery and spend the first week just trying to get back to where they were the day of surgery? I am 5 days post-op and still heavier by 2 pounds than I was going in for VSG.

I didn't gain huge, but I definitely had a gain. A great deal can be contributed to all the IV fluids you received. Once you start drinking more and walking longer distances it will come off quicker.

Thanks, I feel like I never stop drinking but walking is hard for me because I had a complication during surgery with an ab muscle that wouldn't stop bleeding. Therefore that muscle is extremely painful. Walking is hard.

My first weigh in the day after the surgery I was 3lbs heavier than before the surgery from all the IV fluids.
