May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?

[richardv58 2]

I had my surg on may 20th and my weight was 295, today it's 276

[mirrim58 33]

I was sleeved on May 23rd and have lost 21 lbs in the last 10 days. I'm still dropping a pound or more a day and consider myself lucky. Eventually I'll be happy with 10 lbs a month. Hoping it will stay steady. I took off about 15 lbs before surgery, but gained 3 lbs in the hospital with all the hydration.

I'm able to get all my liquids and Protein shakes in. Can't wait until I can have pureed food. Getting pretty tired of shakes and blended Soups.

I'm also down 25 pounds in two weeks. Sleeved May 28th....

I think I'm going to shoot some people. Nah, just frustrated with myself! scales were down about 14 lbs, but hadn't moved in almost a week, so this past weekend, I started walking/running on the treadmill again. Well, that wasn't entirely due to the scales not moving but because I was in a horrible mood and trying to use exercise to improve it.

So I step on the scales Monday morning they've gone back UP 2 lbs. So I've lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks.

On the one hand, I'm thrilled to have lost 12 lbs! But on the other, when I hear people saying they've "only" lost 20+ pounds...well, it's a bit frustrating. There's also the bit of worry that the sleeve isn't going to result in long-term weight loss for me. I'm eating soft foods (heading toward solids) and I rarely feel satisfied or full...just hungry and worried.

At this point, I'm telling myself that it is what it is (and yes, I'm in the 3 week post-op phase) and I just have to do the best I can. Since I had the band before this, maybe it won't work quite as well as it has with other people

Threatening to shoot people even as a joke the first line of your post is really COUNTER PRODUCTIVE and rude.

I know how u feel. I am a revision too and worried it won't work. My scales went up 3 lbs recently. Let's just keep the faith and keep doing what we are supposed to. The sleeve has worked fantastically for many revisions here. Good luck.

Wow, sensitive much? Obviously, my idea of rude and your idea of rude are totally different things. Now, if I'd directed this toward anyone in particular, it would be rude, but I didn't. Plus, I IMMEDIATELY pointed out that I'm just frustrated with myself.

Personally, I think your response is rather...um...silly. Last time I checked, it'd be really, REALLY hard to shoot someone on an internet forum. I guess I could shoot my computer...now THAT would be really counter productive. LOL

Nearly everyone has a stall at the 3-4 week mark. just search this forum for "three week stall" and you will see. It is totally normal. Just keep following your doctor's plan and you will start losing again.
