Hi guys. August 10th was three month mark. So here I go with the stats:
When I decided to have surgery my weight was 289
Surgery day 275 down 14 lbs
end of June weight 253 that made 22 pounds in a few weeks
end of July weight was 244 down another 9 lbs
end of August weight 234 down another 10 lbs
September 10 weight was 229 that means I am down another 5 lbs.

Total down from surgery is 46 lbs and total weight loss is 60 lbs.

I am now 5 lbs from my half way goal. YEAH!

I had surgery June 25th and have lost a total of 36lbs including my two week pre op diet. 17 of those pounds were pre surgery and 19 since surgery. It's slower than I expected but I'm still very happy with the results

That is too funny that 3 people have lost the same amount of weight. Way to go guys!!

I stalled at one week out too and I was freaking out! It's hard not to even though you know ahead of time that these things happen. It was also difficult for me to believe I would start losing again because that stall lasted several weeks! But I am 6 weeks out now and have lost 45lbs (17 pre op) so try not to worry! I know, easier said than done

I wanted to keep mine, dry and tan it and have it made into a pair of shoes

So im 9monhs post-op had my surgery Oct-9.2012. ive lost a total of 113lbs...feels great....but I found out today that I'M PREGNANT! I thought this would never happen to me due to fertility problems....I know its been only 9months but this surgery has made one of my DREAMS come true and im so happy to start my own family with my husband!

I went back to work today

I agree with other posters, and would like to add that NOW is the time to adjust your mindset. I had the same experience of initial gain, and just wasn't prepared for it. It's not only the IV fluids, it's also that the surgery makes you hold on to Water in general because of the trauma and your body's natural healing mechanism. Over the last 6-7 months, I have learned a little patience. Before surgery, I would get discouraged when I didn't lose weight rapidly based on my decreased calorie intake, so I would always just quit. Honestly, the major difference between pre and post op is that I was FORCED to stick with it. As I saw how I lost over time, I realized what it's going to take for me to lose weight. Now I can certainly eat more and I don't think my body would force me eat enough less to continue losing weight. Now it is mostly me with a little help from my sleeve, and the fact that in the early days I learned a new habit and a new way of thinking. I believe that's the major contributor of success for me.

I'm trying not to freak out too!! We have to find other activities to distract us! And/or hide the scale
