How much weight well i loose?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

i had a gastric sleeve surgery on december 10 , my start weight was 222,6 pounds ,within the first week i lost 15.4 pounds and i was so happy but then the loose rate decreased to 4.6 pounds.

i'm scared that the rate will always be this way cause i've over 100pounds to loose.

so can you tell me if this rate is ok?

Everyone loses differently. I have 150 pounds to lose. At first I was losing a pound a day, then I stalled during week 2 and lost nothing. The past 3 weeks, I have lost 4 pounds. Good luck.

hey, like eureka said, everyone looses at a different rate. . .i was a fast loser, the first 7 weeks i lost 53 lbs now in one year I've lost 145 lbs. . . i have a few left. . . which of course is the toughest few lbs ! but i 'll get there, heavens I didn't get fat overnight as i won't lose overnight. . . so far it's taken me 1 year to lose my weight i'm giving myself another 1/2 year to lose the rest, more if i have too. . .but i know i'll never see 350lbs again EVER!! and for that i'm grateful. . . good luck to you!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
