i can't get over how much several of you have lost so soon after surgery. Was there a particular day where you suddenly started seeing the change? I'm on day 5 and still have a little gain from the surgery Fluid (started 10 up and lost most of it but I'm still above my starting weight.) When did you see the scale shift and these huge losses show up? 20 -- 23 lbs down in 9 days is mind boggling!

Would be a lot of fun to wake up 4 days from now and discover that I lost another size :D

I'm with healthyjudy, would you all mind telling us how much you weighed the day of surgery? I ask that because I would like to know if anyone started where I am at 235-ish.. 5 ft 6". I don't want to be super disappointed if my results aren't like this in 9 days. I get we all lose at different rates, but I would like to have something to compare to.

I haven't noticed the physical changes that he has...wish I did. However, I have a very accurate scale. Day of surgery, I weighed 288,(5'7) yesterday I was 268. I never gained Water weight. I typically lost a pound to 2/day. I am now up to 2 Protein Shakes a day(60g protein) 4 oz at a time...and flavored water, lemonade, diet juice or broth. Can't stomach straight water yet, but I wish I could...tired of sweet flavors.

I know what you mean, I've lost 25 in the 3 weeks since, and more than the visual even, I'm just excited about the way my body moves so much easier! Although I will admit, being able to put on jeans for the first time in years was super cool! (lol)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
