How long did the fast weight loss last for you?



Recommended Posts

I've lost 21 lbs in 22 days. It's boggles my mind. I've lost 11 in 12 days since surgery, and also lost 10 lbs in the 10 day pre-surgery diet. I'm trying hard not to get attached to the rate of weight loss, because I figure it will slow any day. I know I'm not going to be the same as everyone else, but I'm curious how long this faster weight loss lasted for others. Thanks.

I didn't lose that fast, but 2.5 months out I am still losing 3-4 lbs per week.

I haven't lost fast. I may lose 1.5 to 2 a week. and sometimes nothing. I am fine with that.

Mine was all over the place. I haven't gained any along the way yet. I don't weigh very often though, I didn't want to drive myself nuts. I've lost 100 lbs in 10 months and that 10 months FLEW by so I'd say that was fast!!

The first 3 weeks to a month is usually the fastest. Then it tapers off to more "normal" weight loss rates of 2-4 pounds a week.

Me? I lost an average of 1-2 pounds a week, because I have the metabolism of a koala.

I lost 14 pounds in my first week. Then it was 25 pounds total for the first three weeks. Then NOTHING for over two weeks. So yeah, don't get too comfy with the initial rapid weight loss. That first stall is brutal.

A month out about 30lbs. I haven't had the stall for 2 weeks yet and I am terrified. I am conditioning myself to stop thinking I'll lose 30 lbs every month because obviously that isn't the case and I do have a terrible metabolism. So yeah it's quick in the first month but as everyone says it'll slow down. Mentally preparing for it.

I'm at my 7th week and it is starting to slow down or should I say stalled... I've lost 50 lbs.. So far and I have been at 257.8 for a week (sw307.6)

I'm at my 7th week and I've lost 35lbs. I weigh everyday and it fluctuates, and I drive myself crazy with it so I don't recommend it. ???? But I haven't started at the gym yet and I'm hoping that will improve things.

I did start at the gym (5 days/week) and while I haven't truly stalled, I have noticed the loss slowing down a bit. I am hoping when it comes time to check measurements at the end of this month that I have lost inches rather than pounds. I never measured myself at the beginning, but figure it can't hurt to help keep me motivated when the scale won't budge!

My weight fell off pretty rapidly the first 7 months or so, then slowed for the next 3 or so months until I reached my goal. Since then I've lost another 10-15 pounds and have been maintaining.

I lost what I thought was rapidly for the first 2 weeks, (16 pounds in 17 days) and then I hit the dreaded 3 week stall - which is where I sit currently. It seems it is different for everyone.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
