63 lbs and still going strong at 6 months out--75% of my excess weight. Don't go by pounds, heavier people will lose more than lighter people, but the percentage of weight lost will be equivalent between light and heavy. For example, if someone has 100 pounds to lose and loses 25, they have lost 25% of their excess weight, but if someone has 200 pounds to lose, 25% of their excess weight would be 50 lbs.

I had my surgery on May 15th of this year.. I am now 2.5 months out and I have lost 42 lbs. Still have 70 lbs to go. So I guess I have lost what 40% of my weight.. I think.. not so good with the math.. Good Luck.. and dont worry it will come off.. And each person is different so you will loose a different amount than anyone else.

Goal in less than 5 months. I love my sleeve. Follow your surgeons diet plan, excercise and stay hydrated and you will be at a place you never dreamed possible. The other day Sleeve4me and I were laughing over her buying a size 4. Giggling really. But the crazy part was a year ago we both would have been estatic with a size 14. Now we are both wearing size 4. NEVER did I dream this big or "small"

No regrets. I love my sleeve.

I've lost 51.2% of my excess weight over the past two months. That includes the 13lbs that I lost on my 2 week pre-op diet.

I have lost 45 pounds in 90 days. I am 57 y.o. and I was told by many forum folks that i should expect less of myself since I am over 50. Well--I feel really good that I followed my surgeon's post - op protocol, set goals, and have not been a mindless whiner like some people on the forum. This is a journey of Self-determination. Your surgeon is giving you a 50% leg up over all other Americans--the other 50% is YOUR responsibility to create and follow a program that works for you. Read my other posts for details on how I did this weight loss so quickly and so consistently.

Here are my Before - After pictures [so far] on YouTubes

I had my surgery 5/9/11 and have lost 40lbs since then. I lost 55lbs pre-op making my total 95lbs lost!

I have lost 83% of my excess weight and have gone from a size 22 to a loose 12.

Don't base yourself on what other's do. You will do fine if you follow your dr.'s guidelines and exercise.

Kelly ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
