How Much Did You Lose in the First Month?

[hihopes]

I get my surgery done the first of April so I have been wondering how much do people lose in the first two months? The reason I want to.know is cause I want to be able to go swimming without looking the way I do now in my bathing suit..

I'm 6 weeks post surgery and I've lost 32lbs. Good luck on your surgery!

Hi Sara .... Start your exercise program now.. It should help ave you in a routine before surgery

Hello Sara, Remember everyone's weight loss is different. I am down 26lbs post-op. But the way I see things, I didn't put this weight on overnight, so I don't expect it to come off overnight. I can't remember the last time I lost and kept this much weight off with ALL the diets I did.

I am 12 days post op and have only lost 13 pounds. Everyone will drop at their own rate. So basically no telling what 2 months will bring for you. The more you walk the better your chances.

It depends on a lot of variables, so what we dropped may/will not be what you do, just keep that in mind.
Also, bear in mind that for some weird reason we don't change sized quickly at first.
If you are looking for an estimate I'd say figure hoping on dropping one size in that time, but again, it's so variable.

I started a lot larger than you (that matters) and I dropped 30 lbs the first 2 months.

Hello
I was sleeved on 01/15/2013. I started at 252 the day of surgery and today I'm at 218 so, 34 pounds at almost 7 weeks out. Came off fast at first and having to work harder at it the last 2weeks. But be patient, the weights comes off as it sees fit
