Hey everyone! I'm 17 weeks post op and down 60 lbs. I was just wondering if this weight loss was a little slow considering that I have a friend who has lost about 100lbs in the same time frame. Regardless I am so so so happy with my sleeve and the decision I made to change my life. Please if anyone has tips or tricks let me know! Thank you ????

Congrats! 60 pounds in 4 months is great! Don't worry about about how fast it is happening, the important thing is that you are doing it! Everyone is different. Just focus on you!

ditto on the above...just think...when was the last time you lost that amount of weight in that amount of time...if you are like me...the answer is NEVER! :)

Just follow your program and you will continue to do great!

I'm ten weeks out and have only lost 17 pounds so I'm thinking your doing well. The faster you lose weight the more loose skin you'll have.

You look like you've lost a hundred pounds. Fantastic progress! I would love to lose 60lbs in 4 months but my weight loss has been a little slower so it will probably take me a bit longer.

It also depends on how much fat u have to lose. So I may lose more than u based on those stats alone. People progress at different rates. I wouldn't worry about the numbers so much as the way I look and feel. And u look amazing! Keep it up!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
