Need a little encouragement today!!! I know we all loose differently.

Please tell me what YOU lost in 3 months. And your surgery weight if you don't mind saying do. Thank you!

Hi I am wondering the same thing. I had my sleeve done on October 21st. At my highest weight I was 210. (I am just over 5'1". Presurgery I was 197. The day after I was released from the hospital I was back up to 204 - from the IV fluids. Then the rapid weight loss started. This morning I weighed 190, and am losing almost 2 lb. per day!

I am doing pretty well getting my Protein in, though I never thought I would be keeping a food journal to be sure I was consuming enough !! haha. I am wondering how fast is too fast a weight loss? Anyone know?

Thank you for recognizing that we're all different! Don't let those differences sabotage the way you feel about your success.

In three months I lost 44 pounds. Those were my three best months. It took me another EIGHT months to lose the next 44 pounds!

I am 5'1" and my start weight was 242 pounds.

I wouldn't fret about losing too quickly, as the body will slow or stall if things get too crazy. I also wouldn't worry about losing slowly, as frustrating as that might be. Some people lose 100 pounds in 9 months, and some people take 17 to lose 107, like me.

Good luck, and congrats on that new sleeve!

Thanks for this post. I was sleeved Oct.4 I'm 5'1 and was 224 day of surgery. Today I'm 199.6 a complete slow loser. I stalled for 3 weeks. I don't go over 800 calories a day. I'm so scared I won't reach my goal I have 98lbs to lose. Best if of luck to you.

You have lost 25 pounds in less than a month! That is fabulous!!! I go on the 16th. Hope I lose that much by Christmas. That would be awesome! Hang in there!

I had my 3 month appt today. I've lost 52lbs so far! The numbers mean very little compared tothe way I feel, good luck!!

SW 284

3 months lost 50 pounds

I was 272 and I was down to 218 last week on my 3 month anniversary. That's a total of 54 lbs lost...but, I had lost 8lbs the few days before surgery (264 lbs). So, technically, 46 lbs since surgery. I lost very rapidly in the beginning and I didn't stall until two months post-op. That stall lasted about 3 weeks. I am now losing about 2.5-3 lbs/week on average.

Today marks 11 weeks exactly since my surgery and Ive lost 39lbs.

Day of surgery weight was 222lbs

today 183lbs

Our Stats are almost identical!

I started at 222lbs, I am also 5'1

Im 11 weeks out to the day and Ive lost 39lbs so far, def a slower looser but I am ok with that as long as it continues to go down, plus eventhough we may not see the numbers go down on the scale right away you will feel it in your clothes!

I had my 3 month appt last week. I lost 52 lbs since surgery. My surgery weight was 248 and at my appt., I weighed in at 196.

I had my surgery July 25th, my 3 month appointment was yesterday. I've lost 43 pounds since the day of surgery. 72 pounds including pre op. High weight was 311, DOS 282, current 239. I'm 5'4.

3 months out and I am down 36. Very slow but I know I will get there, I refuse to give up

Wow!!! Thank you so much for responding. Very encouraging. Whether it is a slow loss or not. I love my sleeve
