Hi all,

Tomorrow I’ll be two weeks post op VSG and here are my results so far

Height: 5’6”
7/3/19 HW. 228
Pre Op 2 wk diet 222
10/15/19 SW. 207
10/28/19 197

So I think I am doing pretty well considering I had a 35ish BMI to start and today my BMI comes up as 31.8. Loss since 1st appointment/HW is 31. Loss since 10/1 pre-op is 25.

I also had a band for 5 years and had it removed over a year ago. I hear that could have an impact on loss but I don’t see how being that I had no band restriction for years and never maintained any weigh loss.

Anyone else with experience like mine? Did you lose consistently or slower than most. I think I am losing at a rate of what is typical right now. I’m happy but curious about the future. Does it slow a lot more when the purées and then solids start?

Thanks for reading.

Seems like you are on course I have not lost consistently -

I really feel you should not do the weigh thing daily - I weigh myself each Sunday once a week and shoot for 4 pounds a week = 208 pounds in a year! The main reason I am doing that is to not look like a shrinky dink with the skin and also I have been told it is easier

Good Luck on your journey!
