I would love to hear from some folks about your weight loss after surgery the first 60 or 90 days after your sleeve surgery. I need inspiration. I am on this liquid diet and surgery in 6 days!

I lost 20 in my 2 week pre-op liquid. Had surgery on December 3rd and I'm down an additional 74 as of today. Personally, I think i'm losing too much too fast but the surgeon doesn't seem to be too concerned.

WOW! That is very impressive! Congrats....when do you think you will hit your goal weight?

Hi Tim!

I lost 19 lbs in the pre-op month. I'm 76 days out from surgery, lost 68 lbs since then for a total of 87. I was heavier than you, so that's definitely a big part of it though

Edit: sorry, you asked for sleeve specifically. You guys drop as much as us in the beginning, though, so it's all the same

My goal is not set in stone... I'm thinking somewhere between 200 and 220 should be good. I don't know when I will hit my first goal of 220 ish.... Per the surgeon, after the first initial chunk of weight comes off, we start to slow down. I'm sort of hoping to be closer to the lower 200's by end of summer but at this point i'm just happy to be feeling as good as I do right now.

74 since preop 11/2.

about 50 lbs at my 10 week appointment. Men typically lose weight faster.

Lost 26 lbs in the pre-op liquid diet phase, then post-op: 26lbs in 30 days, 44 lbs in 60 days and 63 lbs in 90 days. It then slowed down from there.... I lose some 8-10 lbs per month now.

Your loss is truly impressive.

Oh... I missed the "sleeve" only as well. I had the sleeve plus the DS/SIPS. I suspect that plays a different role.

I was scheduled to have my surgery in December and got pushed back to 2/23 because of Covid. I am jealous but proud for you!

When did you have your surgery?

Very Cool Dude! Glad to know this will be worth it if I stick to the plan which is the PLAN!

This was the procedure I initially wanted, but nobody offers it here, so I went with the MGB as that came the closest
