Hi everyone

i had sleeve on 21 Sep 19 & was just wondering how much weight everyone is loosing early days ?

I’m 3 weeks and 1 day out and i have lost 21 pounds since surgery day

I had my surgery on October 2nd and as of today I'm down 19lbs.... I'm having a lot of trouble getting in protien and anything flavored. All that I have been able to handle for the past 3 days has been water.

If you have a blender or nutribullet something like that, try a protein shake blended with ice. I switch it up and add my collagen, and a little extra protein powder in with my protein shake. I also mix in fruit or frozen fruit in as well. I also do that with my crystal light drinks too it makes it easier for me. It seems so much easier on my system. I think I still drink too fast even though it is much slower so it really helps.

I just had my 3 month appt. My start weight was 203 my surgery 7-8-19 was 193 I am currently 169. I was concerned I didn’t lose enough but he said I am right on track and it has a lot of factors. The start amount has a lot to do with how quickly the weight comes off. My surgeon asked me if I would have done this again.., absolutely! I finally feel normal and not hungry all the time. I have more energy, sleep less and went down sizes. Such a big difference. Can’t wait till more comes off!

Thank brilliant, you’re doing fantastic ?

Congrats to you!!!! How many sizes did you come down? I was wondering how much weight a person would have to lose per pants size....

Bypass surgery on 9/24. Lost 17 pounds after 2 weeks.

When giving away my clothes I had 1 or 2 dress pants in an 18. Some 16, a ton of 14. The 12’s I had are too loose and fall down. Now I have 2 pair of jeans that fit they are size 11. I carried the bulk of my weight in my belly. I lost a bunch in my legs, face, butt, arms, lost a bunch in my belly but still carry it there. So hoping that comes off. The surgeon said it will. I guess it depends where you carry your weight. From shirts I was xl to 2x ladies top. (Not woman’s) depending on the shirt. Now a large and I had on a medium shirt the other day. So that all depends on the cut. My husband loves it he keeps rubbing and squeezing me can’t believe how small I got. Yet still have 30 to go. I was off my blood pressure meds 1 week after surgery. That was amazing. Can’t wait to see my A1c.

Don’t worry, it is pretty common sometimes.

I had my surgery 2/6/19 and probably during week 2, I logged just 810 calories.... FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK... I remember being panicked and emailing my NUT 2-3 times with my food logs (or lack thereof) and she reassured me that many people have this issue.
8 months later I’m at GW and I don’t have any obvious deficiencies

I lost 23 pounds in the first 12 days, then lost 2 more pounds over the next 24 days.
It freaked me out, but at the end of the day I had lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks which is absolutely in the normal range.
The first couple of months are super weird and our bodies are really confused and the scale will seem bipolar.

Ride it out.
Get in water and protein and it will even out.
Everyone will have a slightly different journey.

I needed to read this today Sheribear68!!! Thanks for the reassurance!

I'm losing an average of 10 lbs per month. I had my surgery 7/30 and have lost 28 lbs since that day but 45 lbs since pre op. I am stalling constantly.

Hi,
I had my sleeve surgery 7/31 and I've stalled a couple of times already. I've lost 38 lbs since surgery. I'm haven't had much exercise the last couple of weeks.

5'4"
Starting weight 297
VSG on 7/31/19
Surgery wt: 266
CW 228
GW 135

14.6 lbs since 9/9/19. More importantly, no more cigarettes for 2+ months.

I hate that I'm losing so slowly. It's really discouraging.

Patience is a virtue. You got this!
