I do not remember my BMI, but I just went for my 6week post op and only lost 27 pounds. I am very discouraged, although the nurse did say, that does come to 4-5/week. Most of it, was all the first month. It has definitely gone slow. Though I have seen a very big change is clothes size (usually a 24 or maybe a 22) and just bought a 16W in jeans. That DID feel real good. (Sorry, I don't know how to put a tape ticker on.) Guss the good thing is that at least I know I won't gain.

Day of surgery my BMI was 46. 2 months post surgery I had a loss of 35 lbs.

I am now 11 weeks out and am down 41 lbs. I feel like my weight loss is a little slow. But I'm happy nonetheless. My tickler below reflects the 21 lbs I lost pre surgery :)

Also off the topic I feel like I can eat way MORE than the average "sleever'. Went to a support group at Kaiser last night and a friend of mine can not even eat 1 scrambled egg. Where as I can eat 1 scrambled egg, 2 pieces of turkey bacon and 1/2 a piece of toast! yikes! . . . such a big difference and we are both 11 wks post surgery.

I’m barely 2 weeks and 5 days out and I’ve lost 32 pounds these past 2 weeks is it normal to go that fast?

A lot depends on where you started from Miguel, higher the weight the more folk are expected to lose. It’s about % loss rather than pure pounds.

E.g. at 6 weeks I had lost 25% of my excess weight (weight over ‘normal’ BMI for my build).

Here’s a link to a look at https://www.obesitycoverage.com/weight-loss-surgeries/gastric-sleeve/gastric-sleeves-how-much-weight-will-i-lose with a calculator that gives you a view of how people do on average versus the highest losing portion of people and the lower losing portions.

Also the gentlemen tend to lose more rapidly because of more muscle mass and other gender related metabolism effects.

Also depends on age, especially, for women. Post menopause weight is LOTS tougher to shift.

That’s ignoring how well folk are sticking to nutrition guidance, what the guidance is (varies so much more than I thought it would - I was only fluids for a week before surgery and skipped clear fluids to go to full fluids 2 days after). Then there’s exercise. Some folk are at gym 5 days per week, some, like me, walk 30-45mins 3 times a week, some can’t do or choose not to do any).

Plus loads of other factors...so, in loads too many words, not simple to answer and always best to not compare if you can resist it, but talk to nutritionist or doc if really concerned. [emoji3526]

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
