My 32 Week / Monthly Weight Loss Chart



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

I also weigh every Tuesday and for the first year I also recorded my measurements as well. Now that I'm a year out and at goal I am still weighing on Tuesdays but only posting the measurements monthly. I hope this will keep me on track.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
