Hi!

I had my VSG on June 19th of this year. I am a 20 year old male. I am 5'9.5" and was 440 lbs at the time of surgery. I currently weigh 353, and am super happy about it. I just wanted to check in about the rate at which I'm losing. It isn't always consistent, as I'll lose a pound or so a day for a little while, then hold constant for a a little while.

On Saturday the 5th of October I was 364.4, then I went down to 361.8, and stayed there until the 14th (I'm in college so I was partaking in some not-so-good-for-weight-loss habits that week, but realized it was impeding me and fixed them). Then from the 14th to the 21st I went from 361.8 to 353.6 at a consistent rate, and then I have been snacking too often over the past week due to midterm stress, although I am almost completely back on track.

I am super happy with my progress, but I am just wondering if this is still a healthy amount and rate of loss. It may be too much too quickly, or too little. I'm not sure, and I just thought I'd ask here as it can sometimes be a bit difficult contacting the hospital. Thanks so much for any help!

I think you are doing great and as long as you feel good. Keep up the great work!

Wow 20 is the youngest I have ever heard of having this surgery. I think you are losing at a good rate.

you are doing great. just keep in mind that everybody loses differently, so try not to compare along your journey as it could get frustrating... keep up the great work.

Sounds like you're doing great!

Good Luck with everything ?

Omg that is amazing! I can't imagine being almost 100# down in such a short time. I hope I have similar success.

I'm only 3 weeks post op and I'm freaking out. i was losing 1 - 3lbs a day and I've only lost 1lb this entire week! Is it normal to plateau that early?

Nice keep it up

Yes doing well but keep your eye on those calories and youngest I know was a 17 and 18 yo girl who had surgery!
