Hey.... This is my first use of a forum ever. I had gastric sleeve surgery January 30th of this year. I am hoping some of you will share with me what your weight loss was the first month following your surgery. Please include your starting weight and ideal weight also if you don't mind, because I am trying to determine what my realistic expectations should be. I have no idea what to expect, no friends or family who have shared this experience, and my surgery was performed in a foreign country. I'm kind of lost. Just trying to figure things out on my own as I go. Thank you for reading...

I lost 20 pounds the first month after my surgery. BUT...as anyone here on the BP forum will tell you, everyone is different. There's no magic number, no 'typical' weight loss the first month.

I was sleeved on 1/25 and am down about 24 pounds . I only had to liquid diet one week so 6 pounds I attribute to that.. I am trying to incorporate some exercise now, mainly walking.. but I live in the Buffalo NY area near Canada , so our weather makes it difficult.. today is freezing rain , so a mall walk.. good luck on your venture.. I have no regrets ... Protein intake is my worst enemy

      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.

        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.

      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!
