I'm coming up on my 4 months post op on June 10th. I am proud to say that I am 58 pounds down from my surgery!! Honestly, I expected to lose about 80 pounds at this point but that was before I went through this journey. The doctor says im right on track and now im learning to love the entire process. I am no longer in a rush to my finish line. Because happiness isn't about reaching my goal weight. Happiness is loving myself at 301 pounds (my current weight) and I definitely love myself more than I ever have in my entire life. This journey isn't just about losing weight. It sounds cliché but it literally is about gaining a new outlook on life. and id say im more than half way there!

If you are still reading, my question to you, is how much were you down 4 months post op? Just out of curiosity. I am not comparing myself to others, that's a big no no I also learned lol. I would love to hear other peoples sleeve stories and you're experiences.

I'm almost 4 months out. I have lost 40. 6 pounds as of this morning. I was feeling like my loss was slow but considering my starting point I think I am doing really good. I stopped looking at others' journey because it would bum me out. I have had lots of non-scale victories that make me feel happy also.

I think over 50 pounds is pretty awesome! Good job!

I was 4 months on 05.30. I lost 70 Lbs. I'm a man though. Now my weight loss is very slow. About 2 Lbs. per week if I'm lucky.

I had lost 41 pounds by the time I was 4 months post-op.

Not everyone is a rapid responder to weight loss surgery. Realistic expectations and keeping your eye on the prize are of immense importance during this lifelong journey.

I am soooooo glad I found this thread. I have been beating myself up for having lost only 50 lbs at 4 months especially when everyone seems to be losing more. I also did some real soul searching and identified some areas where I haven't been as disciplined as I should be such as 60 min of cardio 5 times a week( I only do 30 min 3 times/week) & my carb intake has been erratic & high.
Anyway thank you for all your stories that encourage me & lift me up to be my better self !!!!!!

43 pounds since surgery. I am happy about it. Question for everyone though: I haven't lost in the last 2 weeks. Is that normal?




Yes totally normal to have 2 to 3 week long stalls. Keep your Protein high, carbs low & excercise regularly & it will budge. I must admit that even though I know these stalls are normal, they mess with our psyche !!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
