SO this is really hard to fathom, I always knew pre op that weight would be coming off fast in the initial period, but I didn't really think it would happen to me. My surgery was last thursday and in 2 days I lost 7 pounds. I understand the mechanics behind this, but wow!!! This is a little surreal!

I am almost 6 wks out and down 30+ lbs.... it's crazy!

Congratulations girls.. me too im 6 weeks out and 30 pounds less

That is so incredible!!!!!

Anyone mind sharing their starting weight? I'm starting at 230. I've been told people with lower bmi sometimes lose slower :/ just curious

Just seen my surgeon today for a two month follow-up (not quite 11/11/13) down 25 lbs. Starting weight in May was 218 in August it was 212, surgery day (9/11/13) 211. But the surgeon told me today that it is slower for people who don't have as much weight to lose. Doctors all want me at 160 and todays weight is 187, but I want 140. So we'll see how long this takes. As long as it comes off, and no problems, I'm happy.

Wow! You rock! All of you do! Thank you for the lower bmi perspective. I struggle to lose now (2 wks pre op) on a very restricted diet so I worry i won't lose. This is very inspirational. Thank you!

I started at 233lbs. I'm 5' tall so I looked like a weeble in my size 22's. Pre-op I lost 12lbs and was 221 on my surgery day, May 30, 2013. Today, just over five months later, I weigh 151.5 and am in a size 14P. I'm happy here - anything else I lose is just frosting on the cake. :-)

I love reading all these posts of fantastic losses. Very inspirational and gives me hope!

My body is not playing ball although Im doing everything as directed. I'm 2.5 weeks out and have lost 4lbs. (I lost 12lbs during my 2 weeks on pre-op diet) and Im beginning to wonder if I should've flagged surgery and just stayed on pre-op diet! Ok, not really

Congrats to all of you losing amazing amounts. I hope to soon join you. :-)

Started at 301 lbs and 1 year later I was 115. I'm 5'2 so 115 looks amazing!!! I am SO happy!
