Day of Surgery Weight and how much you have actually lost?



Recommended Posts

I have been on here one month and I have realized that most of the weight loss tickers are including weight loss from PRIOR to surgery. I want to know what others have lost SINCE DAY OF SURGERY??? My surgery was 7 days ago and I have lost 7 pounds!!! Thank you for sharing a little inspiration here:thumbup:

With the band I lost 130 pounds.

Titancupcake, I don't really count calories. I know I probably should but I am not OCD-enough anymore to worry about it. I don't really have the time right now to figure it out. Plus I don't drink all of the extra Protein drinks. My doc just has women drink 2 glasses of skim milk a day (which I don't do most days either). He hasn't said anything about the Protein Drinks to me. Aren't there a lot of calories in the Protein Drinks?

I just eat until I am getting slightly full (maybe a 3-4 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being stuffed). Then I also try to eat slowly and I say to myself "if I was a skinny girl, how much of this meal would I actually eat?" So yesterday for instance, I had 1/2 of a 6" turkey sub from subway on wheat bread for lunch and I had 1/2 a wrap for dinner. Sometimes I get hungry, but I try to fight the urge to snack. Maybe your band isn't tight enough? Have you talked to your doc about it?

I weighed 319 when I started my pre-op diet on March 28. I weighed 296 on surgery day, April 11 (23lbs in two weeks). Yesterday, I weighed 232 which is 118 days/just shy of 4 months since I began my pre-op diet (87lbs) and 104 days/just shy of 3.5 months since my surgery (64lb). I do cardio 4 days a week and weight train 3 days a week. I also haven't had a fill.

I want to be at 90lbs lost in 4 months so I need to lose 3 lbs by Sunday...probably not going to happen but I'll live with 89lbs by Sunday LOL!

Good Luck everyone!

My surgery was on 2/11/08 and I weighed 283. Today I weigh 237. I’ve lost 46 Lbs. since surgery.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

My highest weight was 330 Lbs. so as of today my grand total is 93 Lbs.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I still have a ways to go, but with each passing day is another pound (just a phrase) lost. It adds up over time.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

My workout routine is pretty strict. I workout every morning and every night six days a week. I’m supposed to take Fridays off, but I still did a power walk this morning of 2.5 miles.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Just remember to eat the right things most of the time, come up with an exercise routine and adhere to it like gospel and the band will help you to keep your portions small and to keep you satisfied until your next meal. The rest is up to you.<o:p></o:p>

Today is my 6 month anniversary. I was 225 on the day of surgery and am now 164. That is 61 pounds in 6 months from the day of surgery. :0)

Day of Surgery was Feb.27th 2008 and weighed 329. I weigh 289 now. So 40 lbs since surgery.

Not as fast as others but I don't have an exercise routine even though I am working on getting one.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
