Sleeved on 3/13. 311 was my high weight, 294 on day of surgery. Today I weighed in at 263 for a total weight loss of 48 pounds. All my clothes pretty much no longer fit and I'm feeling pretty good.

Sleeved on 3/13 and lost 31lbs since... or did you mean 2/13?

Oops, yes, 2/13... Of course 31 pounds since my operation. Sorry about that.

No problem. I would have been a bit worried for you had that been the case :-)

Went for my one month appointment yesterday and I now weigh 235. I started at 261 before the pre op diet. Day of surgery I weighed 251. 2 week post op appointment I weighed 238. I was stalled but I upped my water and was able to go down to 235. Doctor said to keep doing what I'm Doug and expect a loss of 5-10 lbs a month. Slow but steady stays the course.

Me 2... It's so depressing when you stall.. U feel like is this it?! Is this all I'm going to loose? I walk alot drink plenty of fluids... & stalling 3weeks now the scale has not moved.. I'm thinking I'm I over eating? Even tho I can't eat much? Like what is happening :-(

Mee too :( I lost 10 lbs the first week post op surgery. It is now 3 weeks and the scale has not not moved at all. I'm getting so discouraged seeing the high numbers everyone else is losing.

I too am a slow looser. Just rememeber it is coming off in inches probably! Thatb is how mine is working. Just re evaluate your protein and water. And slow means you most likely won't loose your hair.

Hit 6wks out Thursday and down 45lbs on the nose. I only started taking measurements at 1 month 4days out, but have since lost a total of 9 inches off my neck, waist, and hips (combined). Water intake is so much easier as I can drink easier these days. I don't really don't drink much else, but I will have an occasional glass of skim milk. I've gotten the husband to alter his eating habits slightly (replacing ground beef with found turkey for recipes, skim milk, more veggies and lean protein) so this has been a family journey :) pretty awesome so far. Hope everyone is doing well!!

No pre op diet. Clear liquids 24 hours before surgery. Pre surgery 183lbs. on 2/28/13. Today I am 173lbs. So total of 10lbs lost so far.....I have been on a stall for the past 5 days.

I am 5'2"

Weighed myself today it is now 32 days since surgery and the scale has moved a little bit more YAY!! I guess I am just a slow loser. I am now 168lbs. My goal weight is 130lbs. 38lbs to go :)

Sleeved 2/20/13 I'm down 48.2 pounds since surgery day

The best thing i can tell everyone is, the scale will move again. I stalled for two weeks and i uped my calories and quite worrying so much and that helped me get moving. I found a great article that discribes the physiology behind the stall and its prerectly normal. So good luck to everyone and doing a dance im finally down 37

8 weeks and down 53.1 lbs

Sleeved 02/04 down 55 lbs as of Easter Sunday.

Sleeved 2/18, down 33lbs.
