Monthly loss amount



Recommended Posts

Hello I'm new to the forum and would like to ask what I should be losing a month. Yesterday was 1 month since surgery and I'm down about 14 lbs from surgery day. I'm definitely eating a ton less than I used to but I feel like I read that you should lose more monthly. Is this normal or any advice on what to do if it's not. Thank you guys

well its not the sprint of the weight loss as we all loose at different paces so the journey of the weight loss and a new way of thinking is more of what you are after there will be stalls and moments of pleasure and sadness stay focused on your journey and all will be well there is no real number of what you should loose per month or week or day congrats on your journey and welcome to the other side

I personally find it really toxic to compare my weight loss to others on this forum because we're all so different. I just get discouraged! That being said I'm losing about 10 pounds a month and am 6.5 months post gastric bypass. My team is pleased with my progress. Don't worry too much, just exercise and follow your team's plan for you, and you'll do fine.

That’s how I’m feeling

It’s so hard not to compare, I can still put away food if I graze and I know that’s not using the tool we have so everyone will vary and our bodies all hold weight differently and out exercise levels etc. First month I assume is the best, then will get to find out normal. I’d be good with 10-14 per month but will have to see; so far 21 month 1 but don’t expect that every month as lush as it would be

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
