LauraTarry 25 Posted August 18, 2012 I am 5 weeks out and have lost 30lbs... but I had a high BMI. It seems to me like people with a higher BMI tend to lose more in the beginning than people with a lower BMI. Not sure though, everyone is different! Some people lose like 90lbs in 3-4months! I so want to be one of those people, but probably won't be! Lets just be thankful we're all losers!!! Whoop whoop!! =)~ 1 Trcyprkr70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely this is not all the weight I am going to lose...soooo upset....ugh Dont give up girl! I hv went thru a stall (wk 3) but i ws losing inches during tht time. Ive noticed tht if i havent went to the bathrm in 3 or more days tht that makes you weigh more. (Sry I knw thts gross). But had this prob before surgury & it continues. I ws sleeved on July 16 th & its coming off slowly. I will weigh this wk sometime to see wht I hv lost. My biggest deal is intaking fluids! But dont give up! If you're eating less, it will come off. 1 Trcyprkr70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're eating less' date=' it will come off.[/quote'] I was wondering about the bathroom thing as well....I was every two days now it more like 5 to 7 days....my Doc told me that I need to get more fluids in....which that helped some. I try to walk at least two or three times a week. I just went back to work Saturday & my job is physical so maybe with the moving & lifting of the arms, & standing all day will help. Best wishes to you....I know there is hope just ready to see a big differences Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewMan 13 Posted August 29, 2012 Stalls will come and go...I was sleeved on July 30th. My weight was 296 when I started my 10 day pre op diet, my surgery day I was 280 and today was my one month check up and I weighed in at 252!!! I am very excited but I did have my 3 week stall where I didn't lose more than 2 lbs for almost 10 days then it just started to fall off again!! Keep at it and it will dip down again. Congrats so far everyone!!! PS I never have taken my measurements...Should I be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mscharlie350 2 Posted August 29, 2012 I am feeling so much better. I went in for surgery at 5' 4' date=' 203 lbs and weighed 183 this morning. I had a stall for over 2 weeks and it is my TOM so I think that is great. Best of all I am OFF my metformin and bp meds and my energy level is increasing. I will be one month out tomorrow.
