Congrats!

I haven’t been weighing myself much since surgery but last night at the YMCA I hit the scale & it said exactly 300 pounds. That’s a 40 pound drop. Whoop whoop!

Hi. Were you sleeved on Dec 11? That is my date and we share almost the SAME weight loss. I JUST posted something similar today. Others who were sleeved after me, my buddy Seahawks, for example, has lost 40 pounds since surgery and his surgery was in mid/late January
Me. Since Dec 11 surgery, I went from 321 to 287 (current weight) I've hit a lot of stalls, valley's, It's a crazy ride. Total loss since surgery 34 pounds since surgery, 57 since preop diet 2 weeks before surgery

Me, my preop diet was Nov 27 to Dec 11 and I lost 23 pounds in that time

Maybe we aren't so far behind afterall.
My aunt told me last week to chill and just enjoy this journey.
It's not a race, it is a journey
Remind me as I remind you

35 pounds is GREAT! You have nothing to be unhappy about. Your doing awesome!

You're such a wonderful guy, Seahawks a wonderful encourager.
To VSG Meow ****** (lol), Seahaws is right
You're doing wonderful and just going by the numbers I have lost more than you. However
I, am much heavier than you and as you should know, the heavier you are (weight on scale on surgery date) the faster the initial weight drops off
So the fact that you've lost what you have, the weight you were on surgery day, you are doing AMAZING
Keep in mind, on my surgery date, I was 321, so you and I are in diff galaxies and it makes sense I've lost faster than you
Good job, sugar!

Good job, you are making great progress. Think in terms of percent of excess weight lost vs lbs.

That's still not bad at all! It's above the average of 1.5 - 2lbs per week. Your average is actually 3 pounds per week. You also have less to lose than a lot of other people. The less weight you have to lose the harder it is. Just keep at it and you'll get there. Remember, you didn't gain this weight overnight.

I started drinking wine about 3 weeks after my surgery because it was New years eve and i just wanted to. It seemed to be fine but most people would disagree. I told myself that i wasnt going to drink for 6 months while i was healing but ended up going on drinking benders in January and February. I was try to stay strong and avoid it as much as possible due to it being addictive.

Hi! I was sleeved on 12/11 and down 33 pounds.

yes - normal. Any big drop is going to be within the first month or so - after that, it slows down quite a lot. Just stick to your plan and it'll come off. Two pounds a week is 104 lbs a year...

Today, I broke out of the 300's and into the 200's, my first time being able to in 16 years.
Crazy
Absolutely exciting

I eat only plant based foods.
Sleeved on 12/11/17

I'm 3 months post-op RNY and trying to go more plant based. I ate mostly vegetarian prior to surgery, but started eating meat again after because it's higher in Protein. I've noticed that I'm not sleeping, constantly lacking energy now and have had several kidney stones recently, which is how I felt when I used to eat meat. My concern is that plant based Proteins aren't as high in protein as meat. I've got plant based Protein Powder, though it's higher in sugar, but I don't want to do Protein Shakes for every meal/snack. Anyone else follow a plant based diet? What are some good options for protein? Does anyone juice post op?

I was sleeved on 12/20 and feel the same way...never hungry. It's funny ..... when I do eat my brain says I should put more food on my plate. There is no way I can eat more than a few tablespoons! It's totally changing my relationship with food.

@VSG_Meow_Bitch
