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

[Izzy0525 14]

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.

[Izzy0525 14]

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!

Best of luck to you! Absolutely no problem....I can tell you in completely off my Metformin, I'm snoring a lot less at night and its only been 2 weeks

Please keep me posted and if you have any questions I will be more than happy to help if I can

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!

Thanks hun!

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.
