So today its been abit more than 5 weeks since i got my sleeve. i did not take my weight before the surgery itself, but i did check it 2 weeks before. at that time i was 168 kg / 370 lbs.

the weight in my household has a max of 150kg / 330lbs. so whenever i used it in the last 2 years it just said "error" ( we used to laugh about that).

i tried to use it last week and still got the "error" but it was fine. i didnt expect to fly down in weight. today i had this feeling, and decided to try it. it said 148 kg / 326lbs. at first i tought it was a mistake. so i tried again. then i went to my workplace ( hospital) and used their vastly more advanced one. still said 148. talked to my doctor. i had done everything right.

so all in all great day. ive lost almost 20kg/44lbs in 6 weeks (counting from 2 weeks before surgery when i started 1k kcal a day). which is amazing!

My family wants to celebrate so i think today, ill make my favorite purèe meal Tandoori chicken !

Congratulations!! You did great!!

Great start! (And, by the way, thank you for putting your starting weight in your post lest some 250 pound person begin lamenting because they didn't lose 44 pounds in 6 weeks.)

Keep up the good work. I started about 30 pounds above you, and I weigh 173 now (at 6'0"). It is a long journey, but so worth it.

Best wishes!

Thank you! i had seen some people complaining about early weight loss and also speculated their starting weight( they did not mention it) so i made sure to open with my starting weight. also nice progress you have! hope in 2 years that im doing as well as you.
