Average weight lost early on

I'm in the pureed food stage. Does anyone know what the average weight loss is during this time? I don't seem to be losing much.

  • Everyone loses differently. It depends on how much you weigh. People that way more, tend to lose more initially. I started my journey at 243 and am in a stall right now at 195 and I had surgery Octobe

    In the first month after surgery you body is in a major heal mode. Don't be too concerned about weight loss in this stage. Just make sure that you meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirem

What was your starting weight and when was your surgery date. Like @@kayjay14 posted you will lose the greatest amount the months to 1 year following surgery. The greater your weight the more you will lose per day.

Typical weight loss is 1/3 to 1/2 lb per day in the first few mos post op.

I am only one week out of surgery today and have only lost what I gained in the hospital .....I am very disappointed also hope someone informs us PLEASE what could be going on ?

Probably call my nutritionist today :)

In the first month after surgery you body is in a major heal mode. Don't be too concerned about weight loss in this stage. Just make sure that you meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements and walk around 30 minutes per day and then let the magic happen.

Thank you so much James! :-)

I was actually wondering the same about weight loss within the first few months. I am 2 months post op and have lost 37 lbs. but I seem to have stalled this past week. I am exercising at least 5 days a weeks walking/running and using weights as well. I am staying within my 400-600 calorie range and my Protein and liquids. Is this the normal, I feel like I'm even increasing my intensity and even gained 2 pounds over the weekend.

I finally lost 2 pounds and was happy lol. You are doing AWESOME!!!

I totally understand how everyone is feeling i had my Surgery 2/2 . Before surgery my weight was 315 the day of surgery i was 281. I went to my first Post Op apt on 2/11 I weighted in at 274. This morning i weighted my self and i was 272. Its coming off slow but i feel like im losing inches. My pants are bigger and my wedding rings are almost coming off.

I've relaxed a bit about losing the weight. I seem to have a pattern where I don't lose for a few days then I lose a couple pounds etc. I realize now it's not just going to "fall off"! lol
