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!

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
