Hi There, We all lose weight at a different pace, so I can't say how much exactly you will lose. It also depends where you start at. I am 5.5 months post op, was 364 the day of surgery and as of today have lots 99.5 lbs! I also lost 26 pre-op. I lost the most in the first month, 30 lbs, and have lost about 15 lbs/month since then. I had a few week or 2 stall here and there, but seem to be losing consistenly.
Some people bounce back pretty quickly from surgery and others take a little longer. I ended up taking 3 weeks off of work. Originally planned for 2, but I was so sore and tired. It is kind of an individual thing. I don't have any kids to take care of, but I am sure I could have done it if I had to. I was lucky and live next door to my mom, so her and my husband took turns taking care of me. The first week was the worst....I could not get out of the recliner without some help, and needed someoen to at least stand in the bathroom while I was showering to hand me shampoo and stuff since I could not bend over. I was still tired after 3 weeks, but soon got my energy back and was feeling more like myself.
Ask away, there is always lots of good advice!
