How much loss during your first month?



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I'm starting my journey next Thursday. I am having my lapband removed after complications. I'm 12 lbs more than I was before I got the lapband. So awful. I was pregnant for most of last year though so that doesn't help. Anyway, just curious how much everyone lost their first month if they remember. Also, did you stay on shakes the whole month or what was your plan like? Just looking for some thinspiration! Thanks!

I lost 38 pounds my first month. Everyone is different so you could lose more or less. Good luck on your journey.

I am not really sure. 12-15 pounds I think. it is going to vary depending on how much weight you have to loose overall.

my plan was Clear liquids in the hospital. full liquids for two weeks, soft foods week 3 and 4 and then regular foods after 4 weeks.

I am now 4 months out and with two more pounds will be down 40% of my excess weight. not too shabby!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
