Hey everyone I am 4 months post op and down 60 pounds. I feel I should have lost more by now. I have a hip issue so I have not exercised like I should so that could be the slow down. People talk about the honeymoon and having to loose the weight by 6 months how true is that? Don't get me wrong I am extremely happy with what is happening but just curious and a little nervous. Thanks in advance for all feed back

I'm 7 months out and have lost 70.. 60 in 4 is a amazing!!

I don't buy the 6 months honeymoon. Sure its easier to lose for a time period but it's definitely not limited to the first 6 months.

The best advice I have been given is not to compare myself to anyone on this journey. It will only steal your joy. We're all going to be different.

@@kelwilliams You expected to lose more than 60 lbs in 4 months? That's a pretty high expectation. I would be thrilled with that weight loss. I would not worry about the 6 month "honeymoon" period. Continue to eat properly, get your fluids and Vitamins and do whatever exercise you can (even if just short walks or chair exercise) - you will continue to lose (most likely not as quickly - but you will lose).

I am also at four months and have lost just over 60 pounds. I hit a little plateau for a couple of weeks but have started losing again. I have a problem with exercise because my knees are very bad. So it's off to the YMCA pool for some Water aerobics. It is much easier than walking or lifting weights and a whole lot more fun. There are foam "barbells" that you use to get some arm action. You do stretches and leg motions that really help you move more easily. Give it a try!

I'm three weeks out this Monday. If the scale is right, it's 18lbs since my surgery, I try to walk anywhere from one to two miles a night, is that good and any of you that have had it for a while, do you think I'll lose weight doing that kind of walking, is it enough?

      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.

      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!!
