I was sleeved on may 23rd and I have lost 24 lbs in one week after surgery. Lost 17 in my 2 week preop for a total of 41 lbs.

I was sleeved on the 23rd as well and lost 20 lbs in one week. I'm only weighing weekly so I'm not sure about my next weigh in until Thursday. ..I didn't have a pre op though. I know I wont lose anywhere close to 20 lbs every week.

Me too! Though I'm not sure that mirroring what other are doing will necessarily work for me. I'm hoping to make it to 16 lbs loss by Tues which will be 4 weeks post-op (three lbs to go!).

Starting Weight: 270<br />Surgery Weight: 251<br />Two-Week Post-op Weight: 241

I guess the comparisons would happen either way, but it seems like it would be a "more level" comparison if we shared the % lost instead of the #...sometimes I think those with "lower" numbers get frustrated when it is likely due to a lower starting weight. So, I'll start, I am almost 4 weeks out (May 8) and I've lost 27 pounds or 9.3%...I'm hopeful that a few more pounds will drop by Wed so I can be closer to 10% down (which would be 20% of my overall goal)...wow, with all these numbers you'd never guess I was a communications major in college :-)

For percentage do you take the percentage of total or excess? I have a low bmi

You can do it either way, but "Biggest Loser" style would be to take your current weight divided by your starting weight.

The biggest loser one doesn't make sense to me that would be 92%..

Very true! I guess that means that I am down 12% overall and a little over 5% since surgery on May 7. I was a communications major too :) .

I only weigh once per week but on Thursday which was one week post op I weighed 247...I started at 268 on May 23rd ( this was my highest weight since I had no pre op diet)

My goal is 165, so I had 103lbs to lose...I lost 21lbs so I lost 20% of excess weight.

Went from a bmi of 40 to 37!

It really varies person to person and there's not much people can do the first couple of weeks besides follow your doctors orders.

Sorry Janice...the way I shared does mean that you end up and subtract your result from 100...so, in your case you've lost 8%

The formula to calculate percent changes is current weight - previous weight / previous weight :-). Ok, sorry for the multiple posts

Yeah but why would I wanna find out the percentage based on my total weight? Wouldn't it make more sense to put it in a percentage of excess weight. ..I don't want to weigh 0lbs I wanna weigh 165

Or better yet calculate fat lost.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
