63 lbs and still going strong at 6 months out--75% of my excess weight. Don't go by pounds, heavier people will lose more than lighter people, but the percentage of weight lost will be equivalent between light and heavy. For example, if someone has 100 pounds to lose and loses 25, they have lost 25% of their excess weight, but if someone has 200 pounds to lose, 25% of their excess weight would be 50 lbs.

I had my surgery on May 15th of this year.. I am now 2.5 months out and I have lost 42 lbs. Still have 70 lbs to go. So I guess I have lost what 40% of my weight.. I think.. not so good with the math.. Good Luck.. and dont worry it will come off.. And each person is different so you will loose a different amount than anyone else.

Goal in less than 5 months. I love my sleeve. Follow your surgeons diet plan, excercise and stay hydrated and you will be at a place you never dreamed possible. The other day Sleeve4me and I were laughing over her buying a size 4. Giggling really. But the crazy part was a year ago we both would have been estatic with a size 14. Now we are both wearing size 4. NEVER did I dream this big or "small"

No regrets. I love my sleeve.

I've lost 51.2% of my excess weight over the past two months. That includes the 13lbs that I lost on my 2 week pre-op diet.

I have lost 45 pounds in 90 days. I am 57 y.o. and I was told by many forum folks that i should expect less of myself since I am over 50. Well--I feel really good that I followed my surgeon's post - op protocol, set goals, and have not been a mindless whiner like some people on the forum. This is a journey of Self-determination. Your surgeon is giving you a 50% leg up over all other Americans--the other 50% is YOUR responsibility to create and follow a program that works for you. Read my other posts for details on how I did this weight loss so quickly and so consistently.

Here are my Before - After pictures [so far] on YouTubes

I have a video journal on YouTubes, plus lots of food ideas--please subscribe to my channel so I can help you along the way. Don't be a whiner--be a winner in this journey.

I had my surgery 5/9/11 and have lost 40lbs since then. I lost 55lbs pre-op making my total 95lbs lost!

I have lost 83% of my excess weight and have gone from a size 22 to a loose 12.

Don't base yourself on what other's do. You will do fine if you follow your dr.'s guidelines and exercise.

Kelly ;)

      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.
