Weight loss at 7 weeks post op: 55 lbs

Male, 45 years old, sleeve

Nice work, keep at it. Just curious, is your starting weight also your highest weight ever or the weight you were when you first met with the surgeon? I had lost about 30 lbs off my peak weight over about a year and a half prior to first meeting with the surgeon and doing my pre-op. Which number do people here use for "starting weight?"

Again, congratulations. I hope to emulate your numbers. My story is as follows:

-peak weight 314 hit at multiple times in 2012 and 2013

-lost a bunch of weight only to gain all but about 30 lbs back in 2014

-opted for surgery in early 2015 at 284 lbs, where I last was three weeks before surgery

-sleeved 8/6/15 at 266 lbs after three week low calorie diet

-now 11 days post op at 248 lbs
