When you say I'm down x amount of pounds - are you referring to your weight since surgery, or your highest "known" weight? When I say I'm down x number of pounds, I'm always referring to being down from my highest weight. I don't even really remember what my actual weight was on surgery day.

My highest weight that I know of was 262 in June/July. I had my surgery July 30th. I'm 6 weeks out, and I'm now 223lbs. So I say I'm down 39 pounds. I think I lost about 10 or 12 pounds on the pre-op diet (2 week liquid diet). But I consider it all part of my weight loss.

How do you refer to it?

I use the weight that I was the first doctor visit I had to start my sleeve process. I saw the doc for the first time on March 30th, when I was 326. I can now say that as of Sunday (weigh in day), I am down 55 lbs.

I never weighed the day before or the day of surgery. I wish I had. I also wish I had taken measurements, but I didn't. Too late now. I'm happy saying I've lost 55!

I use my weight when i started looking into mexico vsg. I had to get my bmi down a few or it was going to cost an extra $500! Talk about a good incentive. I have lost 105 lbs. This includes the 2 week pre op diet. Surgery was 4.5 months ago. Whoot!

I'm in the same boat. I was sleeved oon 8/6 with a start weight of 300. I am at 260 and stuck for a week, and I was stalled at 265 for more than two weeks before that. I'm starting to feel like this just isn't working! I try more calories, less calories, more fluids, more Protein, I exercise. Nada. I'm getting really down!

Are you watching carbs?

Are you watching carbs?

Yes I am. I am having a hard time even reaching 600 calories a day. That is a real stretch because trying to drink all the time, I'm just too full.
