How much did you lose...

.... 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! ????

    Please please please please please DO NOT compare your rate of loss to others. It is a recipe for misery and disaster. You will only spend all of your days hating yourself and questioning all of your

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!

I was just sleeved on Dec 29th, I gained 10 from the IV fluids and that's all I lost since then.... does that seem normal?

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.

Sleeved 7/11/16, hit my goal (-75#) by Christmas.
