11 Lbs In 12 Days...is That Enough?



Recommended Posts

My starring weight day of surgery was 204.5, I am following the diet, drinking my fluids, my Proteins and walking everyday...

I thought the first month was when you experience the fastest weight loss...

Don't get me wrong I'm still happy to be in Onederland but I'm a bit concerned about how slow it is going.

Anyone with similar starting weight out there? How is is going for you?

Sounds like amazing weight loss to me. Almost a pound a day is amazing. Without the sleeve most Dr's and diet plans would tell you to shoot for 1 - 2 lbs a week. Everyone will lose at different rates but it seems you are doing fine.

204.5 is actually pretty low on the grant totem of weight loss - you won't lose it as fast as some of the heavier folks. This isn't a bad thing - too much at the lower weights can actually be dangerous. To me' date=' it sounds like you're on track.[/quote']

Thanks Benjammim...

I've struggled all of my life with my weight, I have PCOS, Type 2 Diabetis and sleep Apnea. I am happy to be moving towards a healthier life.

Gene I completely agree, but I'm on fluids and Protein shakes only...I'm afraid wit will slow down a lot more once I'm in solids

Hi Izzy,

I have not been sleeved yet, but if you do not mind, I will follow your progress. My starting weight is within a few pounds of yours, and I also have PCOS and Type 2. I will be sleeved in July.

Sounds good to me. I have had to learn not to compare myself to others!

Hi izzy,

You're doing great! The fastest weight loss you'll see will be in the first three weeks, at least that's what they say. But you'll continue to lose steadily. I started at 209 and my goal is 140. I'm losing at about the same rate as you...five days out and I've lost nine pounds. But we're still swollen and most likely retaining Water, so the scale is a bit high most likely.

I had the band for two years. And because our weight wasn't quite as high to begin with, we are prone to slower weight loss. But the most important thing is that it is safe and permanent! :). Just keep following doctor's orders and you'll be good. It's when we 'cheat' that we can fail!

Dang! Sounds great to me!!! WOO HOO!!

As was pointed out...you're a light weight, so it will be a smidge slower. :) But that's pretty fast by any standard.

      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.
