Did anyone lose weight 6 weeks post op?



Recommended Posts

I read that I may not lose any weight 6 weeks post op and I was just wondering if anyone else did?

Seems weird to me to not eat anything for weeks and not lose weight!

I'm almost 6 weeks postop and have lost about 15 pounds. I think they say you may not lose weight in this time period because your body goes through a lot during the healing process, and most people don't have restriction until they get fills. As usual though, everyone is different and some may lose loads of weight, while others may not lose any at all.

I'm almost 7 weeks out. I've lost 26 pounds since surgery, but have plateaued and haven't lost anything for about 2 weeks. I'm going tuesday for a fill to hopefully jump start my weight loss again.

I am 12 days post-op and I have lost around 8.5lbs. I know they say not to expect weight loss initially because your body has to adjust and there is Water weight....but I too can't imagine not losing because we are consuming so little.

It's good to see how much you all are losing and in what time frame. It gives me something positive to look forward to because....honestly....This liquid diet is very hard!!!! I want to eat what everyone else is eating. But, hey! I guess that is what got me in this position in the first place.

Lots of luv,

Monique :scared2:

I have lost 17 lbs since my surgery. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago, I called and made another appointment for tomorrow because I do not feel hardly any restriction and still feel hungry after eating. I feel I am doing my part and I want my band to do it's part. Hopefully I will get another fill tomorrow that will help.

I am 3 weeks post op and I have lost about 24lbs.... I don't feel like I have any restriction but I am not hungry at all... So I don't eat very much at all - under 1000 calories a day. I am trying real hard follow my guidelines (pureed and soft foods)...I am now ready for easy to chew foods -- nothing really tough.

Just don't overdue - get lots of protein!!

I'm only 12 days post-op but I've managed to gain 3lbs. I'm not too concerned about it though as it's likely Water weight. I lost a stupid 30lbs in 30 days pre-op and my body was not pleased about it at all. I think it needs a little breather time. Once I get back to work and out doing field work again, I'm sure things will get rolling again.

I'm 10 days post op, and according to my doc's scale, I've only lost a pound since surgery. According to my home scale, I've lost 4 pounds...I have to admit, it is really bugging me. I'm hardly eating and doing everything I'm supposed to do - pre-surgery, I was losing weight steadily and now, nothing.:scared2:

I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and I have to believe the scale will eventually start moving again.

I was banded on 10/21 and I've lost about 10. I'm glad I saw this thread-- I was just wondering what the average was, since I'm on freaking 600 calories a day--I should hope I'm losing weight LOL! I hope time goes faster until I get my first fill in December! I would love to be down 30 lbs come Christmas, but I'm not even sure what's realistic because I know everyone is so different! Good luck to everyone!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
