Hi everyone, I'm 2 weeks post op and lost 20 pounds so far. My start weight was 217 and my current weight 198. My goal weight is 120. How much did you guys lose in the first 3 months?

My surgery was on April 6 and Ive lost 51 lbs. Nice work, losing 20 in the first 2 weeks!!!! Keep it going

This is a dangerous thread because its not particularly productive to measure yourself against others- our own journey is a highly individualized experience.

Men do better than women normally. Fatties like me do better than the "lightweights" who started at a more reasonable weight.

Sometimes people get frustrated that they're not losing as much as "everyone else" when in reality, they are doing GREAT by their own standards.

Proceed with caution!

How is it a dangerous trend ? And im not measureing myself against other people. I just wanted to know how everybody weight loss been going for the first 3 months. I didnt ask you to come and rant about it. If your not going to post your weight loss then dont post at all and keep it moving to the topic you see.

I started at 214 and I'm a couple of weeks away from being 3 months post op and I've lost 58lbs

I'm in my 4th week post op and I've only lost 23 lbs but I'm down 46lbs from my highest weight.

I will be 4 no. Post op on the 20th of July and I have lost 68lbs (8 of those pounds was from my 3 day liver shrinking diet).....

I have 20 pounds to go to hit my goal

Which is a legitimate curiosity, and that's okay!! There are many others that might take it as a comparison, even though that's ultimately on them, I think the poster was just showing his concern for who might be comparing themselves or not be as strong to see his/her own journey as their own. When I read "ONLY lost such and such" that is a flag of comparing; that's the dangerous part.

You have done very well in your first two weeks, that's awesome...keep up the great work hon! Blessings to you.

I will be 2 weeks post op and started my journey at 217. My goal weight is 120 as well. Last night I was 189. But I am still on clear liquids due to nausea. Go to my pre-op today.

I lost 54lbs during the first 3 months postop, including the 2 week preop diet.

My first 3 months I lost 37lbs, I had couple stalls during that time as well. I was 271 day of surgery. I'm currently 6.5 months out and have lost 71 pounds since surgery, 101 since I started my program a year ago tomorrow.
