17 pounds down since surgery on 9/22

It has been almost a month and I see some others losing weight faster and even slower than me, but we are all different!

High Weight: 337

Pre-op diet start weight: 320

Surgery day: 312

Today: 295

To even lose this amount of weight is amazing to me! I hope everyone is experiencing amazing weight loss as well!

Looks like you're making awesome progress! Keep it going!

Auntiemel, you are doing well. I like the slow but steady method because we don't tend to stall like the fast and furious. I like to think our body adjusts as we go along and doesn't need a stall to catchup. Keep up the great work!

Sleeved 9/23 pre-op I was 300, surgery day I was 286, am at 274 today. We seem to be about the same pace, I'm happy with the progress knowing it won't ever be coming back!!

keep up the good work everyone goes at their own pace just follow the program, and the pounds will fall off in no time :)

Thank goodness there are people out there in the boat with me! I am 3 weeks post op and am only down about 12 lbs so far. I thought for sure I would have been at least 20 lbs lighter by now, but unfortunately not. On the bright side I am down and not up :)

I'm 3 weeks post op and am down 13lbs. I was hoping to be down more but I am happy for the weight I have lost. I have been stalled for almost 2 weeks now. So discouraging. I hope I start losing again soon.

I guess losing slower is easier on our bodies. I know somedays, the easiest things for me to eat are things like Peanut Butter and crackers. I have a hard time eating eggs and Proteins...they seem to make my sleeve unhappy. I also like apple juice and it soothes my tummy. Even with minimal carbs and half water/half juice, I am still losing weight. I'm sure if I were cutting out all carbs, it would be showing a faster rate of weight loss.

My surgeon has me on regular foods after 4 weeks, slowly introducing them one by one. The sleeve really is a tool! I can eat one or two crackers and be satisfied, I no longer want the whole container.

You've been quiet in here recently. How's it going at 2 months post op? Hope all is well with you.
