My highest weight was 360. I started my WLS journey at 335 on December 1 2012. I did a three month 800 calorie VLCD and then 2 week preop diet. Weight on surgery day was 290. My current weight is 255... so that's 35 pounds lost since surgery on March 13th. I've been eating 800-1050 calories a day...I only lost 4 pound in June due to a long stall.. Expecting things to pick back up soon but I know I'm a slower loser.

I was March 18.

Surgery day-248

Cw-207 due to a week long stall. I was hoping to be below 200 on July 1st.

Surgery just short of 4 months ago. Have lost 32 pounds. I seem to be losing about a pound a week although some weeks it nothing and some weeks a pound and a half.

Well I am not at 3.5 months out by any means, I am actually 5 weeks out and as of today I am down 38 lbs. My goal was to be down 40 by july 4th. I am looking forward to the future because I love my sleeve. Congrats to everyone on their current post op accomplishments. Everyday is a new one and a new adventure.

I am about 4 months out. I'm down 65lbs. Highest weight was 250. DOS was 245. Today 183. My weight loss has slowed a lot. Have about 25lbs more to go. I think those last 25 are going to be a pain. But I want to get to 170 by my dress fitting in September and maintain until after my wedding in October. Then kick it back up to drop the last 15.

March 19th here. Surgery weight was 324 and size 30/32 clothes. I am down to 258 as of this morning, so 66 pounds down and now a size 22 clothes. My bra size went from a 46F to 42 DDD. I have had no food issues, I haven't had any issues with any food I have tried. I still haven't tried bread or rice or alot of sugar though. Haven't had alcohol yet either. My first goal is 200, which I hope to be at before Christmas. My final goal is 170, but I am sure that when I get there, I will set another one. So far for exercising it is walking. I want to do more when I start getting some energy. Pre-surgery for many years, I have had an anemia problem. For several years my HGB was 9 with Ferritin of 5 and saturation of 4. I was alway dizzy. I was sent to see a hemotologist for iron infusions. I am on #8 of 10 infusions. My dizziness is gone and I am getting some energy so I am going to add some more stuff to my exercise.

Did you hit a the typical stall around week 3 or 4? I promised myself I wouldn't complain about the 3 week stall but I'd love to see the scale move again. Just wondering how long it lasted if you did encounter it.

I did. I didn't Lise anything for almost 2 weeks at around 3 or 4 weeks.

15 plus weeks here...72 lbs gone....down to 18/20 from 26/28 & 30/32...struggle with fluids & protein...don't enjoy food...walk daily & gym 2-3 times a week

Sleeved March 11th and down 62lbs

Sleeved March 18th @ 215, now at 159. So 56 pounds so far. 64 if you count the loss I had pre op.

...you know, it doesn't feel like I've lost a lot but putting those numbers out there really surprises me! :0

I was sleeved in 3/14. Hated life the first month!!! But did some Pilates today :)

Started at pant size 22. Tops xl-2x

Current pant size 18, tops 14/16

I just started working out, so I hope to get into onederland by Christmas.

I don't measure my food...probably should. Guesstimate I can do about 6-8oz of food per meal. Except carbs. They settle heavy. And keep me away from chips!!!

I'm not quite 3.5 months post-op, with my surgery on 3/28. I've lost 50 lbs, approx 10 inches in my waist and 8 inches in my hips. I'm down from a size 22/20 to a comfortable 16.

I haven't really struggled with Fluid intake and only occasionally with Protein intake. When I'm at home, protein isn't an issue. I was on vacation for almost a week last week and totally slacked on my protein. The good news was that I didn't really eat anything I shouldn't, just didn't keep up with my protein. Next time, I'll be taking my hand blender or a mini blender...I've gotten spoiled to a texture of Protein shake and I have a hard time getting it down, otherwise. I ate chicken and fish, but not often enough because everyone else had their own things they wanted to eat..pizza, buffets, etc. I just chose to not eat rather than eat what everyone else was. My choice, but I'll prepare better next time.

What I can eat depends on what it is. For example, I can eat much more seafood than I can chicken or beef. I can eat close to 6 oz of shrimp or salmon but struggle to get more than 3 oz of chicken in at a time.

I try to stick to 3 meals and one snack per day. It seems to be what I'm comfortable with and scheduling it out keeps me on track.

I wish I was losing a little faster (I'm averaging about 4 lbs a week) but I don't feel like I'm doing poorly.
