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 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' date=' not really

Congrats to all of you losing amazing amounts. I hope to soon join you. :-)[/quote']

Hang in there your body is being stubborn, figure we didnt get big over night so even with surgery it may take time for things to readjust

. What are you doing? I'm stalled for 3 weeks and getting nervous

I did a TON of walking. I never ate anything that had sugar in the ingredients or high fructose corn syrup. Made a huge difference for me.

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

The day of my surgery (2/11/13) I was 233. Today I am 132!

Unbelievable!!! You all have done so phenomenal!

I started at 245,,,pre-surgery weight was 230 (surgery August, 2012) and now weigh 170 as of July,2013. I'm unable to walk so only get weighed at hospital visits.

Surgery was 10/30/13. Starting weight 296, first doc appointment 288, pre surgery appointment 274, day of surgery 269, day home from surgery 264 and I haven't lost any since. I'm hoping to see some improvements soon!!
