Good Morning All,

I am just curious to know at what month did you lose the most weight following VSG surgery. How soon did you guys start working out after surgery?

The first month - I suspect everyone will agree. Then it starts decreasing. for me, my weight loss at 6 months was about half of my first month, and by 12 months it was about 1/4 of the first.

I have a list of my weight loss per month in my signature.

best wishes

Carol

I'm not really very far out, but I'd imagine you will see a slow decrease over time as your calories start to match up closer to your metabolic rate.

As far as exercise, I started walking 2-3 miles 2 weeks post op. I started hard workouts with resistance training at 8 weeks.

No idea as I didn't pay attention to monthly loss, just overall loss. But my weight history is in my signature if you click "TrendWeight."

As for exercise - I started walking immediately post-op and was only allowed to walk for 6 weeks. At 6 weeks I started doing more - fitness classes, slowly working up to running, etc.
