1 month post op

I’m one month post op and I’m only down 23 lbs. I thought it would be more. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks Diane! Excellent ideas. And I will begin tracking everything. I think I’m just expecting too much. I’ve been trying different foods to determine what I can and cannot eat. So far, I have been able to eat everything I’ve tried.

I’m starting to increase my exercise. So I should be fine. I just wasn’t sure if it was normal. Thanks for responding. I guess the answer is there is no normal since everyone is different.

Congrats on a successful surgery and the first 23 lbs gone!

A loss is a loss! Good job!
I'm 3.5 weeks post-op and my weight loss has already slowed. I asked my dietician and she said it's normal for people to plateau for 2 or 3 weeks in the first 3 months and not to worry. She said it especially happens during the transitions, ie, liquid diet to pureed foods, pureed to soft, or soft to regular.

Congrats! 23lb sounds like a lot to me, that's 3/4 of a pound a day. I think you should be very proud of that.
