Trying to ensure that I'm on track. How much weight did you guys loss in a month? I had surgery on 7/25 and I'm down 23lbs but this week I have not lost any. Trying not to get down.

My surgery was 8/19 and I've lost 28 pounds. This Saturday will be 1 month.

I had surgery 8/18 and I'm down 28 pounds hopefully I can drop these last 2 pounds before the 18th this month so I can hit 30!

I have lost 35 pounds in 5 weeks.
18 on preop diet.
17 since surgery two weeks ago.
Feel like I should be losing faster though.

Oh man, you are going to be sooo bummed when that 3 week stall comes your way! Yes, you're a guy, and guys tend to lose a pound a day at first, but it'll slow down soon enough... just know it's coming so you don't pull your hair out...

Started my pre-op at 328, 1 week pre-op was at 314, today, 9 days post-op I am 303.3. 25 total, 11 since surgery.

Why is there a 3rd week stall ? Any idea ?

The explanation I've read in these pages is that our bodies are changing so much, so quickly, that we need time to pause and catch up with the changes. A lot of people lose inches when they are not losing pounds.

I lost 25 pounds pre-op and have lost 13 post-op, or not quite a pound a day. Today is the first day of pureed and I just had 4 ounces of cottage cheese--felt like about twice as much as I really wanted. My eyes are still definitely larger than my stomach!

I'm a month and 3 days out and I've lost 31 pounds so far....super happy! Can't wait for this months weight loss numbers[emoji16]

I lost about 16 kg or 35 pounds in the first month. I did kind of stall around the third week but the overall weightloss was pretty awesome as far as I'm concerned!

Im a month today and pre op 11 post op 20

I am 3 weeks out and I have lost 80 pounds.


Actually only about 40.

Mine is the smallest I think. First month out, I lost 8 lbs. I lost more on the 2 week pre op diet. My stall was like week 2 for a while, I even went up 2 lbs even though I was eating less than 500 cal a day, just protein powder in milk, and bone broth. Then my second month (just completed) I only lost 6 lbs. I did start with a low BMI and my steady loss since the pre op is 28 lbs, which has been enough to dump me just out of obesity bmi.

It's going to be a long slow journey. The scale goes down in ounces if not every day, then every other day. I'm doing a workout program and I hope to get stronger too. Muscle weighs more so it might mean I shrink without a ton of scale loss.

For me though it's a little depressing that I'm not MUCH smaller yet. And everyone knows about the surgery so I think they might be expecting more, not that I care. And I cant wait to buy new clothing. Soon.
