Only 25 pounds? Wow what does your Dr say? I had surgery on Jan 30 and have lost 27 pounds in 2 weeks.

To only lose 25 pounds in 4 mos for me would not even have been worth the surgery. Tell us more.

Everyone doesn't lose like others.. We. Are. All. Different!

My surgery was 11-14-12, when I went in for my first post op appointment my surgeon was disappointed that I hadn't lost more... But then he realized the % of body weight was right on target. We all have different situations the # of lbs isn't telling the whole story! I personally have been trying to over come my "old" self- bad habits! I have come here to try to get motivated to continue with the change.... The surgery is only the beginning of this new life. I pray you find the support you need!

I think it's awesome you only weigh yourself once a month! I do the same thing! I was sleeved 1/15 and was weighed 1/22 by my surgeons office then again yesterday by my pcp. I don't want to get hung up on numbers or scale obsessed! 25lbs is great! Keep up the good work!

I'm sorry but I had to comment on this. Saying only 25 pounds is exactly why there are so many people out there comparing themselves to others weight loss. Everyone loses differently, and at different rates. As far as ONLY 25 pounds.....just think...she has lost on average 8 pounds a month, which is wonderful. She only weighs herself once a month.....which is fantastic! And she has probably hit that dreaded stall that we all get...which you probably haven't been sleeved long enough to get yet. I want you to remember that statement further down the road when you are only losing a pound or two in a month...and you will be dying for 8 pound numbers. ;)

I'm not trying to be critical, I just wanted you to know that not everyone's going to drop 20+ pounds every month. :)

Um not trying to be critical against anyone. I know everyone is different. I was at a lower BMI and my doctor told me how much i will lose the first 3 mons. I'm expecting it to happen. I only want to lose 80 pou.ds. .i wasnt critizising her all i was saying is that i was surprised and if that was me i would be mad cuz i was told to expe ct different results. . I was a lower bmi too. I didnt mean any critisisim of the original poster.

      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.
