Had surgery 6/24. Lost 21 pounds so far - can someone tell me how long it took to lose your weight?

Use the heavy scale app, it has great weight loss predictors based on current and overall weight loss

If you need an andriod app, instead of iOS, try Libra Weight Manager. It does the same thing.

depends on where you start (200 lbs? 300 lbs? 400 lbs?) , how compliant you are with your program, and your rate of weight loss. Some people lose everything in six months - some in a year (common), and some even into year 2. I finally stopped losing about 18-20 months post-op.

I had surgery the same day as you (sleeve). As of today I have lost about 25lbs. i expect that will slow down some as I add foods back in, but i feel like I can lose 15lbs a month till I get to my goal weight

Good luck

I’m going to download the happy scale app to check out! Hubz and I are 12 days out and at 31&27.

Guys I also found a free app called “Monitor Your Weight” that allows you to add your weight daily, set your target weight goal and target date goal. It’s what I was looking for - I wanted a daily log to look back on. This may be TMI (so stop reading now if you’re squirley) but as we know, this process definitely leaves us constipated. Someone on here stated they use colace when needed. Well after 3 days of usage, last night I finally went and I literally felt like my life exited my body! :). In all seriousness, not going for that long made me feel sluggish. Anyway - long story short - I lost 2 POUNDS that next morning. Crazy.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
