I was sleeved on 9/12 and have only lost 7.5 pounds...i am freaking out as this does not seem nearly close to what others are reporting...is this normal?

Yeah I think that is normal. You're still swollen for one thing. I didn't weigh at all the first week or so because I felt so bad that I just didn't really care. But that sounds about right. That's almost a lb. per day!

Sounds normal to me!

That's exactly where I was at that point too. I am 4 weeks out now, and down 19 pounds. It will happen! :-)

Im almost 4 weeks out and only down 17lbs. You're doing great!!!!

Every person is different. Even people at the same height and hte same weight and the same age will lose differently. Don't stress about it, thats a significant loss. Try as hard as you can to NOT compare yourself to others.

I was sleeved on the same day and I have lost 7 lbs as well. However the last 2 days I have gained a pound both days. I don't know how this is possible since I am eating so few calories. I have just been trying to drink as much water as I can to see if maybe my body was just retaining water since I was not drinking enough. It is very discouraging though.

I was sleeved on the 12th also and I have lost 9 pounds. I can't seem to get enough Water down, and am assuming if I could get more water down I might be more successful.

Slow and steady is how we gained, and that's how we should lose too.
