Your weight loss progression vs others looking for similars stories



Recommended Posts

For those that have had gastric bypass, what did your weight loss look like? Did you lose steady and gradually? Did you lose a lot then plateau? I was 222 the day before I began my liquid diet. I was 217 the morning of my surgery. It has been about one month. I’m currently at 196. I wanted to know if this is normal or truly what others experiences were/are like.

And forgive my signature. I can’t figure out how to get back to it to update it!

Well I was 226 the day of surgery which was in April. I hit the 190s in June and now I'm hovering around 158-160. Been around there since the beginning of this month.

I had RNY on March 8th. The day of surgery I was 292 pounds. I'm down to 193. I was around 306 when I started pre-op diet. I lost steady except for July. I lost around 3 or 4 pounds. Then things picked back up. I only want to lose a few more pounds though.

I had the RNY on April 10. Highest weight was 220lbs which dropped to 206lbs on the day of surgery. My progression is as follows:

Apr 10: 206lbs
Apr 24: 196.4lbs
May 10: 192lbs
June 10: 176.2lbs
July 10: 168lbs
Aug 10: 161lbs
Sep 10: 152.6 lbs
Oct 10: 148.8lbs
Today, Oct 19: 146.8lbs

I am 5'4". As you can see, I initially lost weight slowly. I also had times where I lost rapidly and times where the scale barely moved. I tracked my progress with body measurements (lost 14inches off my waist!), dress sizes (size 18-6/8; size XL/XXL to S/XS), and body fat (39% to 23.4%). Don't rely on the scale! Good luck!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
