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.

Love it, I think I will do the same!

Wow!!! Congratulations! I like how you kept your weight chart. Nice.

Thanks for this post. I'm 5 weeks out and it's very helpful.

Thank you!

I love your chart, as it's very realistic - the slow down is real, BUT we keep losing! It can be so easy to stall out and lose motivation. Thanks for sharing!

You are absolutely right! We hit those stalls and we feel unaccomplished or like we are failing; but when we look at the big picture, we are definitely winning!

Hi Shells. ... Tried to pm you but keep getting an error message. What was your longest stall? I'm 2 months post op and have only lost 30 lbs? I feel like I'm not going to lose anymore?

I been drinking diet green tea and water I use drops to change it, tea hope this helps

Sorry I just saw this message and PM'd you. I know the feeling, it's so frustrating. We have to hang in there!!!

My stats are close to identical to yours. HW was 234, SW was 227 and 5'6". At 19 weeks I am 176. Like you, I have a week where nothing happens and then the next week the loss seems to double up.

So far only some slight hair shedding , not true hair loss . How about you? I'm hoping I'm out of the woods on this. You look wonderful , thanks for the inspiration and validation!

That's great to hear Janet! I'm glad it's going so well for you. The hair loss has slowed down. I had a LOT of hair, so you can't really tell. I have no bald spots, and it's not so thin that you can see my scalp, but I miss my thick waves. The only plus is that I can curl my super quick! Ha! I'm glad to see that someone else has such similar stats. I'm on my phone, so I can't check out your pics on your page, but I'm sure you look and feel great

A big factor in stalls, gains and hair loss is your hormones adjusting. Be kind to yourself because the hormones can make you crazy. If your doing your part, give your body a chance to do the work it needs.
