I know that when I was researching this surgery and this sight, I wanted to get an idea of the type of weight loss I could expect. I learned that EVERYONE is different and that EVERYONE loses at a diffrent rate--some faster, some slower. However, I wanted to share this with those who want to have some idea of the type of weight loss that can occur with the sleeve.

I was sleeved on a Tuesday, so I weighed myseslf every Tuesday; those are reflected in the weekly weigh-in's. I was sleeved on the 18th, so the monthly weigh-in's reflect my weight on the 18th of each month.

Excellent post. It's always helpful to see someone else's progress. Oh, great job on the weight loss!

Thanks for sharing your chart!

I think sometimes we think that the weight loss we saw in the first few weeks will be sustained - it won't. This is a great representation.

Congrats on your success!

Thanks for posting this...I will start a weekly chart as we'll to see my progress in black and white. I am also weighing myself everyday which I want to do once a week now. I had a slow down and it was getting me very discouraged. I am 7 weeks out and I eating 65 grams of protein and 800 calories per day.. I hit my second stall. I am drinking enough water. It is cold and drinking water does not appeal to me. Anyhow thanks.

Awesome progress! Thanks for posting, always good to see how others are doing...keeps me motivated!

Good luck on your continued success!

There are several weeks throughout my weightloss that show no weightloss and even some gain. Stalls are MOST LIKELY GOING to HAPPEN due to a variety of reasons: water retention, lack of bowel movement, your body retaining calories because it is in starvation mode (meaning you need to eat more calories), etc. However, I like keeping track because it shows me the BIG PICTURE, which we cannot see on a day-to-day basis.

You seem to be doing well and your caloreis are excellent for 7 weeks out. I wish you--and everyone here--the best of luck!

Thanks for sharing and I love your outfit!

This chart makes me feel so much better. Thanks for sharing it. You have really done great.

I'm glad Gettingsexyback! LOVE your sign-in name by-the-way, You know part of our human nature is to have the need to be validated, and finding others with similar experinces is definitely validation that your progress is okay/normal/(even) great. You look like you are doing very well so far; honing in on that sexiness!!!
