Sleeved 2/7 lost 10 pre-op and 16 post op. 13 of it was in the first 2 weeks then the next 3 weeks have been super slow. I may see 1# 1 day per week then stick.

sleeved 2/21 down 7 pre-op and 18 post-op!

Sleeved 2/14

9lbs pre op

17 postop

Well, base on what I read, everyone seems to be in the same ballpark. So... don't worry and keep on working.

Also, I don't believe lbs is the way to compare one to another. % of total weight lost would be a more accurate comparison (I believe) as those who start at a higher weight tend to lose more.

No Pre-op diet (clear liquids 24 hrs before surgery) and I'm 2 weeks post op today.

Initial consult 1/21/13 - 331 lbs

Surgery 2/25/13 - 227 lbs

3/10/13 - 300.6 lbs

So total loss is 30.4 lbs (26.4 since surgery)

Looks like we are on similar schedules. I was cleared for light exercise. Dying to ride my bike, which has been sitting in storage.

Sounds like it. I can walk a bit, being off my med's (several autoimmune diseases) has made it really hard to exercise. I can grind some med's but not all. I'm getting there slowly but steady.

Sleeve on the 19th of Feb. just home from my three checkup. Down 54 lbs between pre and post. Starting puréed.

I was sleeved on 2/7. I am feeling great. Most days I forget I ever had surgery, until I eat a bite too much then I remember! I have been on regular foods for a week now. Starting weight 252; weight today 222. 30 lbs gone for good!

I was sleeved 2/13 I am down 20 pounds from the day of surgery. Been walking for 30 minutes for 2 weeks, but hoping I'll be released to ride my recumbent bike tomorrow.

What have you ate since starting regular foods?

I was sleeved on 2/19/13. So far I have lost 26 lbs. But 10 of those lbs. were from the pre-op diet. I'm stalled right now.

I was also sleeved on the 19th. I lost 10 pre op and 13 since then. I stalled for 8 days before starting to loose again. Its going slow, but its going!

Ok, I will quit being discouraged about stalls. I was sleeved 2/14. I had my huasband take measurements on 2/10. As of this morning I have lost 8 inches in my waist and hips. 3 in the waist and 5 in the hips. Yipeeee!!!!! I am still in the same size jean, 20, but very loose. Just not quite an 18 yet. Oh yeah 254 on 2/7, 228 this morning.

What have you ate since starting regular foods?

I have tried a few things: chicken kabobs, brisket nachos, ham and cheese pinwheels (I removed most of the tortilla), beef stew, baked potato, chicken salad, and a couple prepared melas from My Fit Foods. My tummy seems to handle everything ok, but of course I can't eat very much of any of it. I may get 4-5 bites in, then I am done. The only food that really bothers me are breads. They feel like bricks in my stomach, so I stay away from those. Are you eating solids now?
