May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
