I was 321.8 on 11/9 (HW)
302.6 on 11/20 (SW)
243.4 today (CW, 10.5 weeks after surgery, down 78.4# total so far)
I seem to be losing faster than average. I healed quickly and was only off work for a week.
My first week after surgery I lost about 9 pounds. I was down 30 pounds the first month after surgery.
I stick to my diet, log every single thing, aim for 90g Protein and <40g carbs every day right now.

How are things going for you?

I'm a bit of a lurker! I love reading posts and getting tips for various stages, etc.
HW was 321.8
10 days of pre-op
SW was 302.6 (November 20)
CW is 243.4 (down 78.4 total)
I'm a little nervous because it seems to be coming off quicker than expected. And I don't want flabby skin everywhere (though.... it's inevitable). But, it's also pretty motivating to keep on going every day.
I get about 90g protein/day, about 900 calories/day (trying to aim for that, some days are less). Carbs are about 40g or less. I walk on the treadmill 40 min/day. Sounds like that's just about where we all are in terms of cals/protein/carbs?

The pureed stage was kind of annoying! 1/4 cup-3 ounces is right about where I was, depending on the food. Some days I could do a little more, some less. I ate a LOT of packets of tuna fish!! Not exactly pureed, but I chewed it forever. I had lots of Greek yogurt (most of the time I couldn't finish the 5 oz. container).

I track everything religiously. The doctor’s recommendation for me was between 64 and 76 grams of Protein every day, and no more than 130 carbs, so I make sure to follow that strictly. They didn’t have me counting calories but I did anyway, and for the first two months I was under 800 calories, then by four months I was up to around 900 or 1,000 calories, and I continued to eat under 1,200 until I reached 175 pounds, which was my goal. Now I eat between 1,400 and 1,500 and the weight loss has slowed down quite a bit. I also drink a lot of Water or crystal light, and I walk quite a bit.

385 hw and sleeved 11/07/17 down 91 pounds. And 33 inches.

I'm following your path pretty closely! I was just going to post a little update.
HW: 321.8, SW: 302.6, CW: 254. My pre-op was only 9 days, I was sleeved on November 20 -- so I'm just more than 8 weeks out from surgery, 67.8 pounds down total. It freaks me out a little to lose this fast (because when it slows I'm going to be all kinds of anxious that it will stop), but I'm also loving it, too. Motivation comes easy when the numbers drop on the scale!
I've been at this weight for 3 days, hoping to see a little drop tomorrow morning.
How many calories/carbs/proteins are you getting, out of curiosity? I'm usually a little under 800 cal and I get at least 85g of Protein a day. Try to keep my carbs around 30g - but always wondering if that should be lower? My NUT isn't super specific.
Keep up the good work!!

I was sleeved on 11/20 and we just had our potluck last Friday. I brought buffalo chicken meatballs. I could eat 1 and a half. The rest went like wildfire. They're not overly spicy and I plan to bring them again to family Christmas. For 2 meatballs, I calculated 173 cal, 15 g Protein, 14 g carb, 1 sugar and 5 g fat.

Go figure I never even saw that at the bottom of the recipe! I just did the calculations based on the ingredients I used (looking each one up - thankfully there aren't many!) and dividing by the number of meatballs it actually made (I didn't get quite 24).

I'm 3 weeks out and I can eat about 2-3 oz per meal if we're talking food (tuna, soft chicken, Beans, etc.). If it's thicker liquid (soup, yogurt), I can tolerate 4-5 oz. If it's Water, I can do more than that.

Sleeved on 11/20, came home last night. Feel much better in my own bed and moving around my house. The gas pressure is real! Burping all the time. Working on my liquids and just a tiny bit of Protein today. Still feeling very bloated! Little by little I’ll get there.

Yay me too. There are a few of us! So ready for Monday?

5 days post op, very little nausea. Threw up once from drinking Protein Drink to fast. I’ve been getting close to my 65 Protein and 62 Water a day. Surgery was Tuesday and home by Wednesday night. Still a little sore my staples feel like someone pulling on my skin. Other then that it’s been good.

Me too! Bring it on!
