    That's awesome bro, keep at it. I took a week off after the surgery and went right back to work. And walking is good! Try to up your numbers as the weeks go on. I'm a Campus Safety Officer so my levels of activity are different depending on the day. On average, on a slow day, I'm at 11000 steps or more. My water intake is high. And I also try to hit the gym as often as I can.

    First off, you are a man and a younger one at that ( see, my observation skills are almost as good as your math skills ?). This means you got a leg up on weight loss - totally not fair but that's what you get with more muscle. Secondly, you are starting from a rather high weight, add in you are probably following your program very closely and your 80 pound sounds perfectly normal and safe.
    Keep up the great work!!

    What is your activity level? I am 15 days out and down almost 30lb. Started back to work on Tuesday. Activity level for me is walking. Up to about 4000-4500 steps now.

    You are doing great. Ride the high wave.
    Just keep in mind that it will not always go this fast and there might be a stall coming. The body will make some adjustments along the way, sometimes your shape will change or inches will disappear during a stall. It is different for everyone.
    Keep up the work with your team!

    The higher the starting weight, the faster the initial drop is.

    Congratulations! That’s awesome.

    I’m not a vet but the more your starting weight is the more you will lose, if the starting weight is lower then you lose less lbs. I need to lose 80 lbs but sure do not want to lose it all in 2 months... I don’t think my brain could handle that lol. like NCGITL88 said it just shows how we are all different in our weight loss.

    You should be proud...Keep up the great work!!

    This is a great case of how we all are different in our weight loss journey. So impressed with you. You should be proud. I celebrate EVERY pound. This is why we simply can't compare our journey with each other. You are doing amazing!!!!

    So I was sleeved on June 25th of this year. My starting weight was 410. Fast forward to present day and I am now weighing 325 (thank you thank you lol). The fact that I am 2 months and 2 weeks out and down 85lbs already is mind blowing to me. Another 15 and I'm at -100lbs (my math skills are superb today lol). My concern though is, is this normal? I see many post on here and of people who are just months out as well and they haven't lost as much weight as I have (I'm not trying to toot my own horn here). I checked with my surgeon and he said all is well, I checked with my nutritionist and she says my diet is fine, my intake is where it should be and all my lab work looks fine. My surgeon says it's most likely due to my activity levels. I am very honest with my team, I let them know on how often I slip up, have drinks and foods I shouldn't but at this point even they said they dont even know how I am where I am but to just keep doing what I'm doing. I'd love to here some input or if anyone else is experiencing the same. Hope you all are having a great day!
