Just curious to see how my fellow January sleevers are doing. I had a very rough first week and prolonged hospital stay, but doing much better and every day gets a little bit easier. When I started my 2 week pre-op diet I was 336. Got down to 318 day of surgery and as of this morning am down to 298. That makes it around 38 lbs lost in 5 weeks. I'll take it!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Where are all the January people hiding at!? Hope everyone is doing well. As of today I'm down 40 lbs! Only bummer is I have picked up a cold with a terrible cough. Trying to survive the day at work.

My sleeve was done on 1/3, so I'm at 6wks post op. I'm down 37.5 pounds!

Hi all, I was sleeved on 16th Jan, starting weight was 236 and I am now down to 213, I have lost almost 23lb

Sleeve on 1/25 and down 42.7, still in disbelief.

Started at 360, never thought I'd be this close to under 300 again.

Awesome you guys! I remember looking back on my first week and home and hardly losing anything thinking this is going so slow, then things kicked into gear and now I can't believe the difference in just over a month.

@jeichman I just broke through the 300 barrier the other day. First time I've been under 300 in a good 5 years. You'll be there soon enough!

I was sleeved 1/10. Surgery day I was 288 and today I am 264. I think I've hit one of those dreaded stalls that everyone was talking about [emoji30]

Sleeved 1/31 I'm only down 12 pounds since my surgery.
It is becoming discouraging. I regret having the surgery now because I'm scared I won't loose the weight.

Black2028-Take it slow. I remember going through that just as well. I thought I was crazy for doing it but now I realize it's up to me to make these serious changes. Give it some more time Black and be positive. I'm here if you need to chat.

I second what Nika said. Just hang in there! I had some serious regret my first week with all the complications I had, but every week has gotten better and better and so has my outlook. Don't beat yourself up too badly about not losing a bunch of weight yet. It'll come in time. I was very frustrated because I came home weighing more than what I did my day of surgery. Having to lose the "hospital" weight gain made the first week and a half frustrating, but once I got past that hump things were better.

I will say the better I do on my fluids, Vitamins, and Protein the better the weight seems to come off. It does make a difference. Keep your chin up!
