hey everybody my name is kim and i just recently had the surgery on january 3rd and it is now january 21st. i have lost 23 lbs now is that a good start? my start out weight was 321. how much weight have you guys lost and how quickly?

Hi Kim, Good morning to you :-)

Sounds like you are off to a great start. I was 321 when I started my journey. I went on my two week pre-op diet on Aug. the 3rd and lost 16 pounds. When I had my surgery on August 17th I was 305 pounds. As of yesterday morning I am 198.2 pounds. I feel super and can drink and eat anything in moderation. I definitely try to watch my carbs, but you are so early out you don't need to worry about that now. Just concentrate on your fluids and Protein.

Good luck!!!

Deb

Yes. You are doing great. Just don't be surprised if you slow down dramatically or hit a stall about 3 weeks out. Great job. It took me 4 weeks to lose 20 lbs.
