when I was where you are, I'd lost 28 lbs (16 lbs the first month,12 lbs the second). I was a slow loser the whole time, but I ended up losing over 200 lbs. Everyone's rate of weight loss is different depending on so many factors (age, gender, starting BMI, metabolic rate, etc). Your commitment to your program is going to have a MUCH greater impact on your eventual success than your rate of weight loss will, though. So just stick to your program, follow the rules, and the weight will come off, either fast or slow.

Be careful taking nutritional advice from someone without bariatric expertise. Our needs are different and since our volume is so restricted, you have to do a balancing act.

Thank you, this is one of the sites I had looked at

I'm so happy so far with my progress Dr Bhoyrul was great he really cares about what he does. I thank him and his team

First Post, never been in a gp forum, thought I’d try it out. I had rny in 2009. 300 ish to 135 lbs. 2 kids, one gb pregnancy 4 years ago. Lots of experience, ups, downs, and all of the in betweens . Hit me up if you have questions or find me on IG @cheyennelee623

Good luck tomorrow! Keep us updated on how it goes.

Yeah I'm sipping from a cup now. But I take a full breath and exhale before I drink so I don't get in as much air. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm very happy

Hello, I just had the gastric sleeve about 72 hours ago and because of the pain and nausea I am finding it difficult to get my water intake and my protein intake where I was told it should be. Am I right that I should be focusing more on water? At this point, I feel like I'm failing miserably on both ends. Any advice would help. Thanks everyone.

I see fast and slow weight loss with each type of surgery. Many factors, age, sex, medical issues, hormones, medication and complications. 60% of your excess weight is the average weight loss with the sleeve. Whatever procedure you choose, try not to get caught up in how fast you lose. Even if you are a slower loser, you will still lose weight. Also, don’t compare your weight loss with the rates of others. It will make you crazy. Have I noticed weight loss can be slow with the sleeve? My weight loss was fast with the sleeve. I got to my goal of 140 in six months. I’m four and a half years out and maintain in the 130’s
