Please! I am scheduled to be sleeved September 17, 2014. I am a worrier even though I am excited. The main thing that keeps me going and puts a lot of negative thoughts out of my head is reading everyone's stories especially their post surgery stats......

Please...I know it helps others reading this too. I would like to know your height. ....age (optional), presurgery weight, day of surgery weight, 1st month weight loss, 2nd month weight loss, etc. and then total weight loss and total number of months it took to reach the total loss.

Before and after pics would be nice if you'd be willing to share.

I know a lot of pre-sleevers like me would really appreciate this information so that we can compare ourselves to someone with similar stats...I am only 5'1" and starting at 218 pds. before presurgery liquid diet and am 48 yrs. old. Any and all stats are helpful.

Thanks so very much for any and all responses that are shared....

I'm 4'9" age 42 (Asian)

started at the highest weight 227.7 lbs

I lost during pre-op before surgery 17.6 lbs

Surgery date 7 July 2014 - Weight 209.66 lbs

Today 17 September 2014 - Weight 177.76 lbs

I wish you a successful surgery and smooth recovery!!

I had surgery July 22, 2014. I lost a few lbs during pre op liquid diet. I am now down 52 lbs. yesterday and today I have been hungry all the time. I hope the starving feeling stops soon!

Deleted. Just read through and saw I already posted on page 2! Doh!

I was 270 before 3 weeks of liver shrink diet. Started at 255 at surgery. Have not loss anything yet. Am only 7 day post surgery. Is this normal. Actually I had gained 2 to 3 lbs probably from water and swelling

It was the same for me. But, think about it. If you're eating the way they tell you, you have no choice but to lose it. Also, I did a little research about these plateaus we all probably experience from time to time (I'm actually running an excel sheet with graphs and formulas, etc.) and keep in mind that physiologically, when you don't consume the calories you need to maintain your base metabolic rate (what we need to function), research suggests that your body take the food you are consuming and directly converts it to glycogen for quicker access. Well, for every gram of this glycogen are three grams of water. You can look up this stuff to make sure I told it correctly. But the bottom line is this: the math is the math and if it doesn't show up today, it WILL show up soon. Hang in there! I'm even plotting my plateaus in order to analyze them and better predict how my body will continue to respond.

I am 37 years old, 5 feet even. My highest recorded weight was 235#. However, when I started my recent weight loss journey in Sept 2013 my weight was 219#. I weighed 207# on the day of surgery, 4/8/14. I am 5 months post op and currently weigh 158# (61 pounds down). My goal is 130#. Although I believe I am a slow loser, I am losing so that makes me happy. I will try to upload some pictures but I'm not really a picture taker (even now that I've lost 61#).

I wish you all the best on your journey. Believe and conquer!

Hi! I hope you have a quick recovery.

Starting weight: 270 (I weighted 290 in some point)

I have some pics on my profile.

Yesterday the nutritionist gave me a great advise, "do not compare yourself with others. As long as you're following instructions you should not worry"

Welcome to your new life.
