I only lost 15lbs since day of surgery which was 11/16 but inches have left. They say im right on target. However from the first day i stepped in here for consult till today ive lost 30 lbs. But from this summer till today ive lost 52lbs. This is cool!!!

We are the same. Same surgery date. Same lose since surgery. Same lose since pre op. Since summer I am down about 39lbs. I was worried about losing slowly too only being down 15 but they said I'm doing great? I have been struggling with severe Diarrhea for 4 weeks ( 2 weeks pre op 2 weeks post op). Yesterday the Dr gave me the green light to stop the Protein shakes and introduce regular protein including dairy. I already feel so much better and the diarrhea has already stopped Thank God. I'm glad you posted, makes me feel better. I see some people already down 25lbs since surgery, same day as us. Every one is different.

Have you started foods yet? I weighed out 4 Oz of roasted chicken last night. I fully expected to only be able to eat 2 Oz. I ate it all. I have only felt restriction twice (during pureed stage). I've never thrown up. Im not complaining. Weighing my food will just have to be my way of life though because I don't have one of the sleeves that stops me after an Oz or two.
