Hey all! My sleeve was Monday June 16th...

Highest weight 290

Surgery day weight 263

Current weight 251

So far no complaints! On full liquids and jazzed on how fast it's coming off, trying to mentally prepare for a plateau... When did some of you hit that first plateau?

Also how much did you all lose the first month?

I just want to see if I'll be a "slow" loser or "fast" loser....

I had my surgery may 22 so I am 4 weeks and 2 days out. I hit my first stall at 1 week and 2 days out. I didn't think I was ever gonna start losing again! I was 22 lbs down going into the stall that lasted 2 weeks and 2 days. Since this past Monday ( when I officially starting losing again) I am down 4lbs. I am .2lbs shy of 30lbs total! Not too shabby for 30 days work... :)

Good luck to you!!!

My understanding is that these "stalls" or "plateaus" are evidence of our bodies automatically trying to protect itself from famine. It holds onto the weight as long as it can, then releases it. I KNOW we are excited about losing so much weight and the number on the scale represents "how well we're doing." I would like to see folks not get excited about these *temporary* lapses of evidence of losing the pounds and RELAX... it's gonna happen--- trust the tool.

I don't weight myself regularly (last weight-in was a month ago at drs follow up) so not sure if I hit a stall or not, but noticed that clothes were fitting better and I was constantly updating my wardrobe, plus everyday I feel so much better about health and well being and have gained so much self confidence.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
