I was sleeved 2/3... But I'm wondering when I will see the scale move. When did you notice the pounds starting to drop?

Sure would like to know about your Juarez sleeve. It is a million times closer to me, could you email me and tell me some, or on this forum, if your not to tired of telling it.

Sure what is your email and I will also provide you with my number

@ Kelly thank you.... I feel like I'm prego lol can't wait for the swelling to go down.

I was on a liquid two weeks before surgery and two weeks after - I lost minimal weight right after surgery then gained three pounds when I started the puree/mashed diet, which lasted four weeks. During those four weeks, after my body adjusted to food again, I lost over 20 pounds. Hang in there, it will happen :-)

I was also sleeved 2/3 so far ive lost 6 lbs from surgery day.. I honestly think its the fluids that our body's are still holding onto. Once they are completely flushed out of our system we will drop a big number. Just keep sipping.

Well I'm a hater of the scale and when i got home from the hospital from surgery, i threw it out. . . I only weighed at the doctors appts and this is how that went, first 2 weeks 25lbs gone, 7th week 53lbs gone, 1 year out 150 lbs gone. . .I never had to witness a stall in the first year and was very very happy with my fabulous results. . I refused to be a slave to the scale. . . now I'm 3 years out now and lovin it. . . good luck!

Well, I'm losing inches but not many pounds!! It's a little disturbing!!! I've lost 22-24 pounds since surgery on 12/19/11..

I'm hoping to lose super quickly.... I went for a walk had some creamy chicken soup " soup at hand" I'm going to save the container so I can warm up my soups and take them with me everywhere I go and it will be convenient for me at work too

I can't remember how soon after my surgery I started loosing pounds. I do know that it seemed like I was loosing weight but not inches for ages. I had lost 25-30 pounds before any of my clothes started to look/feel loose. I was beginning to wonder if all the pounds I was loosing was off my feet, fingers and sinus passages, as my rings were loose, my shoes were loose and my allergies/sinus congestion had cleared up! Then all of a sudden, boom! My clothes started getting to big for me, and stuff (like my pants) started to fall off. I am now almost 8 months post op, and the weight loss has slowed down significantly, but I am still loosing about 1-2 pounds a month. I am so happy with my sleeve! I am down right at 100 pounds (it varies by a pound or so daily). I have gone from a size 26/28 top to a 12/14, size 22/24 pants to size 8 and my weight has gone from 258 pounds to 159 (this morning. Last Friday was 158. It varies on how much I ate the day before, how hydrated I am and how my scale feels like treating me each day!) I wouldn't go back to where I was for anything!!! Hang in there, the scale WILL start to move, and you WILL lose!

ohhhhhh Helen!!! I would LOVE for my sinuses to get smaller too!!!! :woot:

@ Helen the cat .... Thank you so much I bought some isopure 40g of protein I'm sipping on that now
