I was about 230~233.8lb heaviest ever been in life around September. Pre-op I was 98.6 KG or about 217lb. 7 days post-op I was 91.4kgs (roughly 16lbs lighter). I am 30 days out, and 87kgs today which is 191.8lbs, a weight I haven't seen since about 2002~3. Previous to VSG, I relied on Phentermine and exercise binging to lose weight. Got as low as 88kgs from 98kgs in 3 months before I got married in November, 2005 on exercise and diet pills. So, I'm below that previous recent low right now.

Also, just looked up the

BMI chart: currently 30 days post-op: 29, officially out of obese into over-weight (max BMI 41)

BODY FAT %: currently 30 days post-op: 24.9% acceptable for males.

Also,

FATTY LIVER: currently medium, down from heavy

BLOOD PRESSURE: average: 135/85 down from 155/100

I am so glad that someone asked this question! This has been very informative for me. Even my doc was a little discouraging at my 5 week post-op visit because I have not lost as much as many of his patients. However, I'm not sure those of us in this weight range (which many consider to be lightweights) lose as quickly as those heavier. I seem to be in line with many that have replied. So it makes me feel a little better :)

Thanks Weightbgone for starting this topic!

I was 234 day of surgery, 11/8/2010. I am now 193. Size 18/20, now a 14. Had a 3 week long stall, but starting losing again slowly. I'm sure I would be losing more if I excercised, but I haven't been.

Good luck.

I started at 240, got to 230 by the time of the surgery. Surgery was done on 2/26/11 and right now roughly at 217. I've lost 12 lbs since the surgery. I feel like i've been on a stall for the past 3 days but hopefully the scale will move soon.

      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.
