I weighed 297 at my pre- surgery appointment on October 2,2017. My gastric sleeve surgery was on October 17,2017. I only did a liquid diet for two days prior to surgery. I weighed 287 the day of surgery. Today, ( January 16,2018) I currently weigh 228 pounds. I've officially lost 69 pounds in less than 3 months. Is that normal ? I'm female, 42 years old, and 5"6.

I'm happy with the weight loss, but curious to know what other people have experienced after having the gastric sleeve surgery.

Please note I have a ton of energy...take my vitamins faithfully, I struggle with getting all my required protein intake at times and my appetite has decreased tremendously since surgery . But at the end of the day .... the weight is really melting off me. I went from wearing a size 2xl / 3xl down to a medium. The mediums fit snug, but it's a blessing to be able to fit a medium in less than 3 months after surgery.

I have completely phased out of Lane Bryant clothes and can now fit cute clothes from Victoria Secret .

Please share your weight lose experiences after the gastric sleeve surgery, I'd love to hear about your weight loss journey.

Congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work!

I'm following your path pretty closely! I was just going to post a little update.

HW: 321.8, SW: 302.6, CW: 254. My pre-op was only 9 days, I was sleeved on November 20 -- so I'm just more than 8 weeks out from surgery, 67.8 pounds down total. It freaks me out a little to lose this fast (because when it slows I'm going to be all kinds of anxious that it will stop), but I'm also loving it, too. Motivation comes easy when the numbers drop on the scale!

I've been at this weight for 3 days, hoping to see a little drop tomorrow morning.

How many calories/carbs/proteins are you getting, out of curiosity? I'm usually a little under 800 cal and I get at least 85g of protein a day. Try to keep my carbs around 30g - but always wondering if that should be lower? My NUT isn't super specific.

Keep up the good work!!
