What are some 1st/ 2nd month weigh loss



Recommended Posts

I was wondering what people saw for the first month/second month weight loss. I see a lot of amazing stories after 8 month, a year etc. it is very hard to be at the beginning of this journey. I am working so hard and following the diet but I am still large. I would really like to here what some people saw and how they got through the slow points. Thanks!

I lost 23lb the first month, and just finished my second month with a loss of 11lbs. I keep my eye on the prize which I know won't happen overnight. Stalls are really frustrating - I went 3 weeks without losing a pound. Just keep up the plan you were given by your doctor and it will come off. The body just goes through adjustment periods and some can be days,

weeks or even months. Remember, the weight didn't come on over a few months, or years. This is a new journey for us all and it's just not temporary. This is a good time to tweak your eating plan to see what works for you.

I lost exactly 20 pounds at the 4 week mark. Tomorrow I will be 5 weeks post-op and I am down 22 pounds as of today. Best of luck to you. :)

I just hit the twenty pound loss mark today, and I am 6 weeks out. It's hard when you see people with huge losses in the first few weeks and it is coming off slowly for you. Hang in there. I stalled at -16 pounds for several days, then in the last three days I've dropped over 3.5 lbs. there just doesn't seem to be any predicting how it will come off. My food, Water, and exercise was very similar the whole time from 2-6 weeks.

So you think it's okay to stall at 15 days post op?

Yes I stalked for two weeks then dropped 10 pounds. I stall like every two weeks and then lose 5+ pounds. I have most recently stopped weighing every day and focusing on the scale, I am learning that it comes off in no particular way!

I am the same way. I drop 3-5 pounds and then I stall for what feels like a 1- 2 weeks. But I am still averaging -10 pounds a month.

I do however weigh myself everyday, then I average it out at the end of the week to get my true weekly weight. When I do it this way I can see that what I thought was a stall is still a loss. It maybe only 1/2 - to 1 lbs, but it is a loss. That's what works for me to keep me motivated.

I got the a wifi scale, Yunmai and it does all the averages for you and gives you a lot of good information.

      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!
