How fast are you losing weight?

I'm about 7 months post op and have lost 107 pds! My pre-op weight was 251. I've gone from size 20/XXL to size 10 pants / medium shirts.

I lost 100lbs in the first 6 months, then it slowed dramatically. Took me an additional 4 months to lose 24lbs more and then an entire month to lose my last lb. Just hit my goal last weekend in 11 months total

It's been 8 weeks now and the last 2-3 weeks it's slowed to a very slow crawl of 1/2-1 lbs max per week if that. On the plus side it's better then nothing ?

Age: 57

HW 285

pre op 268 (Optifast start)

gastric bypass (12/12/16) 260

CW (8 weeks post op) 234

GW (2 year plan) 150

as you can see I only lost 8 lbs on 3 weeks of Optifast, then lost 14lbs the first 3 weeks and now crawling the rest of the way at only 12lbs in 5 weeks.

I had my surgery on 11/21/2016, and I have lost an average of 2.5 pounds a week over the past 7 weeks. I have lost a total of 17.6 pounds since my surgery.

I have had a week where I have lost over 5 pounds, and some weeks where I lost nothing, though. I would like to add that I haven't been exercising yet. I have had some issues after surgery - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and I have already had to have my pouch dilated (at which point they found 5 ulcers) - all these things have kept me from being active. I can't wait to see how things go once I feel better and can exercise again.



What surgery did you get?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
