Was sleeved on 1/10. I started my 6 month pre-op journey in June at a weight of 368. My next visit was at an all time high of 370. That is when it hit me that I wasn’t mentally ready and I knew that I had to mentally prepare before I would truest be ready. The next visit I had dropped some weight and then some more the next. I was feeling good losing weight and I slow came to realize that I was truly ready. In my December appointment I was down to 360ish and I was excited to get my surgery date for January. Surgery day rolled around and I weighed in at 340 (after an awesome 2wk pre-op diet).
Over the last 2 months I have experienced two stalls and many mini-victories. My first stall lasted 5-6 days at around week 3. My second stall lasted a little over 2 weeks, I just overcame it two days ago and was getting very frustrated. I was at my 300 pound brick wall. I weighed in at 301.6 everyday for two weeks straight! I thought my scale was broke, but no matter where I moved it to on the floor in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom.... garage, it didn’t make a difference! Still 301.6.... Finally, two days ago I crawled on my scale and BAMM! I beat down my brick wall and seen a beautiful 299.5 and this morning 297.6.
With this accomplishment behind me I am excited once again and am looking forward to my next mini goal of 280. I find it mentally satisfying of setting small realistic goals and reaching them. If my only goal is to reach 200, I will have a long miserable journey. But, if I set small goals I will enjoy my journey and not be discouraged as easy.
So here I am, 9 weeks 2 days out and a total of 72.4 pounds lost since my July 2017 weigh-in.
i have read so many encouraging stories on here. I hope that mine may bring some comfort to somebody that is discouraged due to a stall or even had a bad weigh-in during their pre-op phase. Good luck and have fun on your journey to a better life!

Hi! I was sleeved 01/23/2018. I went for a follow up 6 days after and lost 13lbs. The scale has not budged since. I started eating pureed meat but try to drink at least 2 Protein Drinks a day. I end up staying on mostly full liquids it seems. Each time I introduce something new I feel a little nauseous but it goes away. I take my Vitamins and Biotin daily. I went back to work after the 8th day of surgery. My only problem I am really having is I'm so tired by the end of the day.
I've been on a stall right after the first week of surgery but people are noticing my weight loss. As much as I would love to see the scale go down everyday I need to remind myself the inches are falling off. l decided I am taking a picture once a week so I can SEE the results in pictures since my scale will not cooperate! haha!

They said no ...but i have had some ...no problem at all....wasted calories i know but like to shoot pool and socialize.....not saying im right by any means just that can with no side effects

I started my journey at 397 pounds. I lost 99 pounds during my six month insurance-required pre-op diet program, weighing 298 on the day of surgery (September 28, 2016).
I met my goal of 180 pounds on October 2, 2017, 1 year and 4 days post-op. I currently weigh 173 pounds.
The surgery helped me, yes, but I have followed a Keto way of eating since the first day of my six month pre-op diet program. I eat less than 25 grams of carbs per day and keep my calories below 2000. I plan to continue to eat that way long term. That's what has helped me to achieve my goals.
Good luck!
