OK here goes, first of all you look really, really, good. This is your journey, you can't compare it to anyone elses. It would be like 5 different woman wearing the same dress, we'd all look different. Different earrings, different shoes, different nail polish. Well that's how the sleeve is, everyone has the same tool, but everyone responds, and uses the tool differently. So there is no "right" amount of weight to lose in any certain time frame.

I am in a support group with about 250 other women and a few men they have all lost on average about 60 lbs in 3 months time. I would say u r normal with ur weight loss. But u really can't compare urself to other people, it will just drive u crazy. Some lose more some lose less. U can do everything perfect and ur body is just gonna do what it's gonna do. Be proud of urself ur doing very well. There is a girl sleeved same time as me I have done everything by the book I have lost 35 lbs she has lost 56! U really just have to focus on urself. Hope this helps.

Not slow at all! I had surgery the day after you, started at the same weight, and have lost less than you at 55 lbs lost. :)

First, you look amazing. Second, others who were sleeved that same as me have lost quicker and more. I'm almost 8 weeks out and lost 36 lbs. and I eat healthy & exercise at least 5x a week. The important thing is to be losing and be healthy.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
