Hey everyone I'm new to the site and so excited to have found it I just got sleeved a week ago on 6/2 I feel great first few days were very uncomfortable but as the days passed I never imagined to feel so great I'm currently 15 pounds down and was wondering if anyone could share some of their stories in regards to your first two weeks and first month how much weight loss did you achieve I just want to know if my 15 pounds so far are on the higher or lower end of what others have lost. I'm very excited and cannot weight for the weeks to continue passing to see how much I can loose this first month.

Dana Marie,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your surgery! You will find a wealth of information on here and you might find more info on how much folks lost just by reading a bunch of the posts. Since you just found the site you have a lot of previous posts you can read! .

I lost about 8 lbs during the 2 week pre-op diet and I think that I lost about a pound a day for the first couple of weeks. It has slowed down now to about 1 to 2 lbs a week and I am thrilled with that. While I was happy to lose 7 lbs a week during the first couple of weeks that isn't sustainable and wouldn't be healthy I think.

It is tempting to compare your losses to everyone on the forum but what you will find is that everyone's experience is different. Some people who are on the heavier side may lose very quickly (or not!) and some on the lighter side may lose quickly (or not!). Good luck with your weight loss and be sure and keep us updated on your progress!

Thanks so much for your words I have been going thru older posts just reading and its great to see all the responses I wanted to hear of others weight losses because currently I am the only person I know to have done this procedure and while loosing 15 pounds in just a week is so exciting I was anxious to find out if the rapid lost would continue if it was normal and how did others do thanks for sharing your story I cannot wait to see how much I can shed by the end of summer. Best of luck to you
