Oh I hope so, I know everyone is different but to hear others are losing 5-10 per week ( congrats people )it's rather discouraging to us who's scales are out to get us :)

I am 23 days post op and I have lost 41 pounds. I lost 31 pds in the first 16 days. I'm not doing so well on getting in my calories though. I've been pretty weak. I have another appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and I am going to ask for a dietician consult. I can't seem to find anything I can eat safely without pain or vomiting besides Clear Liquids.< /p>

You'll start to even out. Don't get discouraged! I know it's hard.

2.5 lbs may not seem like a lot, but it adds up!

I'm about 10 months out, and down 119lbs (SW 300, CW 181). That's about 2.64 lbs a week. The weekly average doesn't seem like a lot, but after 10 months, I'm a size 32 pant in men's and a comfortable medium shirt - I was a size 52 pant and a 2/3X shirt in March of 2016. I know it's hard not to focus on that number, but the more you don't let it rule your life and focus on getting proper nutrition (Protein, Water and all of that fun stuff) and setting yourself up for success, the better off you'll be!

I seem to be losing 3.28lbs a week according to my "monitor your weight" app. I thought i wasn't losing any weight and i just looked at mfp and i seem to have lost 11.4lbs this month so far. I wasnt expecting that with all the off plan eating and none eating I've been doing. Thought I'd gain or stall. I try to walk as much as i can when I'm out and about. I live in nyc so i am up and down subway stairs and escalators and walking blocks to anywhere. I just noticed from my walking app that just walking to and from the train station is a mile. I go that way every day so i could easily get in probably 4 or 5 miles a week just getting to work. Is that good? Should i strive for more? I am really lazy so If iget in my 6,000 step goal im happy but i usually shoot for 10,000, which isn't hard. Just lazy. Aside from that i have to go up and down subway stairs, and am usually walking in 10 to 15 minute bursts throughout the day. I feel like it's not enough but since I'm not getting in too many calories and im still losing pretty steadily I'll work on my eating and drinking so as the weight-loss slows down I'll have a better grip on my eating and will be able to incorporate more activity and actual workouts. Sorry that was sooooooo long. Just some things I've been working through in the almost 4 months since surgery

Nope, no hope so we must believe it's going to happen for us too! I'm realizing it won't look like someone else and truly that's ok. We have to remember and trust I'm preaching to myself too:) that we are making progress! Without the small victories we can't have the big victories. Also, are you working out? I started working out a couple of weeks ago. Even though the scale is acting up (bah hum bug) I'm seeing a difference and people really are based on comments. I meant to get a measuring tape to start measuring myself. Will do that today and perhaps you will join me so we can look at our overall results week to week. Take care!

Sounds like a plan, I will need to do it today. I also got an answer to why the scale isn't moving from my nutritionist, she said if you lose weight before surgery ( most of us did as we lived on Optifast for a few weeks) plus the stress of the surgery, your body goes into a reset mode where you won't loose as its trying to balance itself out.

So YES, there is hope

@ Sxapeel - I'm new too. I had my RNY on 1/25. I took the Miralax powder the day after I was discharged from the hospital just to avoid Constipation. It worked and I'm glad I didn't wait until there was a problem. Good luck!

Hi group, my first time posting . I'm 2 months post surgery. I'm down 33 lbs.

Don't be discouraged , because there have been times that I've remained at the same weight for 2-3 days. Then the next week will be down 2 or 3 lbs.

So , just keep going.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
