Oodles of people have asked what the weight loss is like before/after surgery. I've been keeping track on MyFitnessPal for over a year. Unfortunately, I can only show up to one full year back.

My starting weight is Dec 13/Jan 14 was 315lbs. I began changing my eating/exercise even before my first weight loss surgery consultation.

My weight on my surgery date (July 28, 2014) was about 245lbs. I had lost about 50lbs before surgery (about 20 during the pre-op!)

The weight loss after being sleeved is pretty darn rapid. I've been eating about 1,000 calories per day and exercising 3-5 times per week and burning (according to heart rate monitor) between 400-700 calories per workout.

As you can see...stalls happen, they're normal, and they do end. I typically weigh myself once per week. I hit the dreaded three-week stall right at three weeks post-op and it lasted about a month. It sucked, but ended.

I am now around 165lbs. That's about 140 lbs since I started my healthier lifestyle in mid-January 2014 and about 7 months since being sleeved.

Best of luck to everyone on their journey.

that is nice. I have kept a spreadsheet to and will show it when I get to goal. Can't believe how fast you lost!!!

Thanks! The weight loss didn't feel nearly as fast pre-op as it did post-op, but I averaged about 10lbs per month and it does add up quickly! That's roughly 2 lbs per week, which doesn't seem like much.

Good luck on your goal and do share when you get there!

Whoa!

Really love it. Thanks.

I've got the same stats (daily) on MFP.

And like others, I've also recorded Excel spreadsheet data for weekly / monthly weigh-ins.

That's cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Does it still count if I'm a boy?

Hmmmm on my computer it does not show any graph....it shows a picture of a man and a woman? Anyone else?

Yes, I only see a pic of a man and woman, no graph.

You had me at 'graph'.

What an awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!! And congratulations on your weight loss! I can't wait until I'm there! I'm a little like you, my start weight when I seen my surgeon for the first time was 306! So far I've lost 11 lbs., and my fourth weigh in is next week! I'm anxious to see what the scale says next week!

I added the graph as an attachment. Hope that works now!
