How much could I potentially lose 2 months Post Op - I have a BMI of 38



Recommended Posts

Surgery date is October 5, 2015 and my wedding date is December 5, 2015. I'm having a revision from the band to the bypass. I realize that the wedding dress I have now will have to be scrapped as I will probably lose too much...

How much could I potentially lose if following all the rules? I understand that weight loss varies depending on so much. My BMI is at 38 now.

Any thoughts or experiences? I didn't have rapid lost at all with the band so I don't know what to expect.

Thank you!

@@betrthnever, of course EVERYONE is different but my BMI was very close to yours and I just went back and looked at my ticker and at 2 months, I had lost 45 pounds. Good Luck!

Like the other poster said, we all are different. I lost about 38 lbs in the first two months.

Yes, but the beading work on the dress will make it cost prohibited.

Not to mention the time needed to do serious alterations.

My seamstress says she will work with me because she doesn't want me to have to worry about a dress last minute. That's good.

I started out at the same BMI (maybe 37). I had my RNY August 11 (a little over 3 weeks ago) and have lost 30 pounds as of this morning. Of course, the first 10 were due to the preop diet. My doctor told me since I wasn't as heavy as most who have the surgery, I wouldn't have a 30 pound weight loss month, but it looks like I'm going to be close. If I had to guess, I'd say you would probably lose 40-45 pounds by December if you do everything correctly and exercise. Good luck and congrats on your wedding!

I am already looking for alternative dress styles, like free flowing. I'll also be working my arms, too. Although I think my extra skin is going to be a fact of life.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
