.... At 3 months post op? 6 months? 1 year?

I'm getting close to surgery (Feb/March) and am getting excited! Just thought I'd see what people experienced for the first year! ????

At 4 months, I was down 50. Here I am, 8 months out, and I haven't lost anymore. No one understands why... but 50 pounds is 50 pounds. Hopefully I'll start losing again soon.

4 weeks post op and I've lost 27. I stalled for almost 3 weeks after surgery and literally had to quit weighing or else I would've gone crazy. then it suddenly started coming off. I am light weight, having around 50 total to lose so I don't expect it to go quickly. I just keep following the nutrition guide and walking. Next week I start cross fit back and hope it really starts melting then.

Good luck. Don't get discouraged.

I've averaged 5lb a week since the sleeve 12 weeks ago. Its falling off at the moment but there are many different factors for all of us. I feel very lucky for it to be this way for me. I also know it will stall sometime and although the brain will know this but I'm sure the emotional bit will be a bit upset.

Have patience, it will work!

Yes. Don't worry. Your body is still recuperating. Follow your post Op diet and walk as much as possible. It will start dropping off.

Yes, everyone is different, of course, but I trolled these posts pre-op to see what to expect. I also focused on women with similar height/weight stats to mine, and that was helpful for me.

My stats are in the ticker, but I'm closing in on 4 months this coming Monday and hope to be close to -55 lbs lost. I did get a little discouraged when I saw people sleeved after me losing more, but I used that as the kick in the a** I needed to join a gym and clean up sloppy habits creeping in over the holidays.

I respond to negative reinforcement I guess? LOL.

Anyway, went from a 22 to a 16, complexion is flawless with no carbs/crap in diet, and have a lovely, consistent energy level throughout the day. I totally appreciate the lifestyle for many reasons, but the most important one (for me) is no longer going into a carb coma and needing so much caffeine to get through the day. I hum along on one cup of coffee in the morning and rarely a cup of tea in the late afternoon.

One thing I wish people WOULD mention is their restrictions and if they are meeting Protein and Water goals. I healed lovely and, yes, have restriction, but some people are gagging on 2 ounces of food, and I can get in 4-6 ounces no problem. I have always hit my Protein goals (100 grams) and Water goals (80 ounces.)

Best of luck, and get excited! Even slow/low loss is a loss we probably would be THRILLED with if we did it without surgery. It works!

I am meeting protein and water goals. I am able to eat 2-3 oz of meat at a meal and usually do 1/4 cup of vegetables with it. if I do something like chili it is 3/4 cup.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
