How fast are you losing weight?



Recommended Posts

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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
