Hi Sugarbee. I had my surgery on 4/8/14. My stats are as follows:

Pre-surgery: 219lbs

Day of surgery: 207lbs

8/3/14 (almost 4 months post op): 165lbs with 35lbs until goal

I am a slow loser due to not being able to get in my Protein and Water goals for the first 2.5 months. I had at least 2 stalls. I'm doing much better now that I can eat a tad bit more. My plan is to reach goal within the next 3-4 months, maybe sooner.

Good luck to you!

I'm 5'2 and started roughly around 200 lbs. I'm 4 months in and I am happy to report that I'm at 145.2lbs. The weight did not come off until about a month. Now I see at least a pound to two lbs drop each week.

I was stressed out those first few weeks. Once I learned that all my thoughts and worries and 3 wk stall were normal, I relaxed and let the sleeve take over. I didn't even start working out until after that month, and I still don't stress out about not going to the gym. If I can't make it, no biggie! I had/have problems still making my Protein goals, but I do what my body likes. My Doctors say my levels are normal, and when my body lets me eat more food, I will. I try to drink lots of Water , and that's it! Poof, it's coming off at its own pace. I'm just along for the ride! Yee haw!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
