Down 24lbs. Since surgery date 48 lbs since Christmas! Does the 24 lbs seem about average for a loss this far out?

I'm doing well on my puree diet but having a lil trouble getting my Protein in everyday only because the shakes are grossing me out.

I CANNOT wait until I can stop taking the actigal pills. I take more meds now than when I started.

How's everyone doing at this point out?

It seems great to me! I don't know your starting BMI, but 24 lbs in 3 weeks would be amazing no matter what your start weight is... that is an average of 8 lbs a week.

It is hard to compare loss across the board... we all have different bodies and issues that affect our metabolism. Are you happy with the loss so far? That is the most important thing : ) As for the Protein drinks... have you tried different kinds? It pays to sample brands and flavors to find one you like. I personally don't like the chocolate or vanilla ones that are so easily available, but found that I love several flavors of the Syntrax Nectars. Drinking a Cappucinno one right now!

Yes I'm very happy with the weight loss! I weighed 294 on surgery day. People are noticing the weight loss thru my face the most. My clothes have lots more room and could probably drop down to a 22 but holding out as long as I can.

I have not tried any other Protein Drink and I need to do that. I'm drinking the premier chocolate shakes and they leave a horrible taste in my mouth and I just dread shake time now.

Goodluck to everyone!!!!

I am new to this forum and this is my first post! I had sleeve surgery on April 28, 2015 by Kaiser Permanente in Fremont, CA, so it's been 3 weeks and 4 days today. I was given a weight loss goal of 20 pounds on January 15th in order to receive a surgery date. On that date I weighed 247. I got down to 225 the day of my surgery and today weigh 208 - a loss of 17 pounds since the day of my surgery. I was hoping to have been down by 20 pounds at this 3 week mark, however am still thrilled with a 17 pound loss! My only complaints thus far have been that I have suffered from Constipation and have swollen ankles and cold feet. Anyone else experiencing any or all of these symptoms?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
