This is a dangerous thread because its not particularly productive to measure yourself against others- our own journey is a highly individualized experience.

Men do better than women normally. Fatties like me do better than the "lightweights" who started at a more reasonable weight.

Sometimes people get frustrated that they're not losing as much as "everyone else" when in reality, they are doing GREAT by their own standards.

Proceed with caution!

How is it a dangerous trend ? And im not measureing myself against other people. I just wanted to know how everybody weight loss been going for the first 3 months. I didnt ask you to come and rant about it. If your not going to post your weight loss then dont post at all and keep it moving to the topic you see.

Hi everyone, I'm 2 weeks post op and lost 20 pounds so far. My start weight was 217 and my current weight 198. My goal weight is 120. How much did you guys lose in the first 3 months?

**UPDATED**

Now im 2 weeks post op my sleepimg has improved alot. I am now able to sleep on my side and stomach with no problem.

Hi everyone,

I'm 6 days post op, before the surgery i was side sleeper, now after the surgery i have to sleep on my back and i hate it!. I'm not sore any more from the surgery. I don't know why its so difficult to sleep in the bed, I tried to last night and woke up around 1 a.m. and went downstairs to go sleep back in the recliner. Is this normal? Did any of you have any trouble sleeping? Or did you sleep the same after surgery with no issues.

Thanks everyone for the advice!. For the people who had the surgery, do you like the baratric advantage Protein Shakes? I tried them , their alright but not the best. I want to try Premier Protein. Have you all tried that? I heard its way better.

Hi everyone,

I just been sleeved on last Thursday, July 6th. Far as pain wise i feel much better .The gas pains were kicking my ass at first . I lost 11 pounds in 6 days, but far as fluids. I feel like i only get 2-3oz of fluids down for the whole day, im starting to feel dehydrated. Any advise? I tried crystal light and juicy juice . I have no probelm getting it down, but it just seem like I get full off half of 1oz in one sitting. I really dont want to go to the hospital if i can find a way to rehydrate myself. What are some good drinks that helped you from being dehydrated?
