May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?

[kristy26 42]

May 1st -33 lbs including pre op which was -7 lbs.

[Cindy Martin 77]

HIGHEST WT: 324

SURGERY WT: 285

CURRENT : 268-down 17 lbs since surgery. Love every lb gone. Woohoo.

GOAL : 160

I am doing everything I can possibly do to be compliant. I will lose when my body wants to lose. It will take time to get rid of all the weight I gained during my lifetime. I know now I have a fighting chance, and that's all I asked for. We can ALL do this. Good luck guys!

I've noticed that people who did a two-week pre-op diet tend to lose less weight the first month post-op, but I have a feeling that is just our body trying to figure everything out!

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

Me too. Same numbers. Was sleeve on the 6. Loss 13 pounds preop and twelve this month. But what was your starting weight?

[oldskoolsooz 24]

My starting weight was 248, I lost 10 lbs in April from a pre-op diet, had surgery May 1st and lost just 11lbs by June 1st. I am now 227. I will say that I have struggled with my hunger. I identified head hunger tnx to this forum early on and fight it but after the third week..I have been very physically hungry and able to eat way more than I thought I would :-( I do not push to fullness, I measure my food, don't drink 15 mins before or 30 mins after. It's been a struggle.

I feel the same way sometimes but the hardest is to stay away from unhealthy foods like ice cream. I am not the one who ask for it but my husband does and is hard yo say no. So I just went for ice cream with my husband and daughter and I ask for a baby size and I did not finished but still I feel so bad. I got home and started to drink Water just to feel that whatever I eat Is going to be washnout by the water. Is being hard because I dont ask for unhealthy food but my husband does. The other day I told him you should not buy those Cookies and he got upset so I am trying not to push it but I dont want to hurt myself and bot loosing the way I should be.

I can definitely relate...didn't do a pre-op..was sleeved May 6 and to date have lost only about 21 lbs....I also feel true hunger and not just head hunger..I am also very diligent about the portions of foods and follow the rules about the liquids like you mentioned...and yes it's been a struggle

[oldskoolsooz 24]

Hey you lost 21 lbs in a MONTH! that's awesome! It took me TWO months to lose that much :-( I'm trying to remain positive and not be unhappy because I'm ONLY down 21 lbs :-) I'm really happy for the posters who are losing so much so fast but I feel like I'm not making progress. It doesn't help that I'm hungry so often and I'm fighting food just as I was sitting the 100 diets before this surgery..its frustrating and a bit depressing..lucky I'm so stubborn :-) this too shall pass I hope! Good luck..to all of us :-)
