Having gastric bypass surgery in a week. How much weight can I expect to loose in the first few months?

I comprehend which everybody is opposite when it comes to weight detriment as well as recovery. However, we am only perplexing to get a non-textbook answer. we am really vehement about a operation as well as am only perplexing to design a results. we am kinda anticipating someone can discuss it me what they experienced. How most weight can we design to lax by christmas if we exercise?

    It can vary widely but the average weight loss in 3 months is 40-50 pounds. Christmas is about 5 months away so if you work very hard, eat right, take your vitamins and excercise correctly, you could see a weight loss of 60-80 pounds. But everyone is different and I am in no way saying that you would totally lose that much. I lost 30 pounds my first month, 70 pounds at 3 months and 115 at 8 months. A friend of mine who had surgery around the same time as me, has only lost 80 pounds so far to my 115. We excercise together, have the same diet but since our bodies are different, we have lost differently. You will lose weight quite quickly int he beginign when you can only eat pureed foods but as you add foods to your diet, you will lose more slowly. It’s easy to sneak in extra calories so use that will power!!

    Good Luck! I hope that the surgery is everything you want it to be and more. It changed my life in so many ways. I can play with my son, I can walk down the street without feeling like everyone is staring at me and laughing. I feel beautiful for the first time in years. My life has begun at the age of 31!!

    With exercise alot ..that is bscally the truth especially if you re not going to be able to eat much. However be careful , you should ask how soon you can start exercising. Depends on when you start. Either way power to you I wouldn’t have th guts to do a surgery like that. i heard you can have lap-band surgery and it is safer and it can be removed whenever you want. But either way good luck with that and hopefully you can loose as much as you want.

    my personal experience, the first two months I lost about 20 per month, then it slowed down gradually, and I lost 105 lbs in 10 months. exercise is a major key for success, also make sure you stick to the proper eating habits. If you have a support group to go to, I strongly suggest going to them. The amount you will lose partly depends on how much you need to lose. the more you need to lose, the more you will lose in the beginning, it gets harder to lose when you get close to your goal weight. I started out at 248, and I think in the first 5 months, I lost about 70 lbs
