What was your rate of loss?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious as to what your rate of weight loss was after your surgery? I had my two week appt last Thursday and I was down 20lbs.

HW: 437

SW: 376

I have tracked all my weights since my surgery last year on June 15. I lost 18 lbs. in the 2 weeks before surgery when I was on the liquid diet. After surgery, I averaged 4.1 lbs. per week in the first 6 months. After that point, my average has been 1.75 lbs. per week. My highest loss was 7.6 lbs. in one week. I do need to add that I exercised prior to surgery and after surgery. My doctor said that my rate of loss is on the high end of the spectrum. I would think that a man might lose even faster than I did. You guys have a definite advantage.

It definitely depends on your starting weight. My doctors office prefers to go by percentages for this reason. The heavier you are, the more weight you will lose.

My sw at surgery was 260 and I'm now at 235. 25 lbs over 25 days. I've been losing a lb a day

Today is my 4 month post op...I have lost exactly 50 lbs since surgery....I haven't started any kind of regular exercise program yet so I probably could have lost more [emoji848]

I've lost 55lbs since surgery on Jan 27th. I was losing about 3lbs a wk, now I'm at a stall for 2 weeks, then lost 3 lbs from last week. Not on a regular exercise program really yet. I walk a lot and see a trainer on Mondays, but then my kid is around all the time so I don't have workout time cause she's usually cranky after I get out of work, husband is at work, so I don't feel like dragging her to the gym

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
