When to start counting a loss

[mark! 449]

I was sleeved on the 26th, and everything is going absolutely awesome right now. Was just curious when you all started counting your loss? Pre op weight was 342, and post op 3 days later I'm 334.

I am presleeve and have lost over 60 pounds already from my highest weight... 35 of those pounds have been during the past few months during a very strict presurgery diet. (Not as much as YOU though.. AWESOME losses pre-surgery by the way!) I don't really see any difference in "counting" weight loss pre and post surgery.

I started counting my weight loss from 6 months ago when I started the process. You're doing great! I can't wait to see how much I lose when I go for my post-op appt on Monday

Count them all!!!!!

What she said! If the weight doesn't return in 2 days, I count it. A loss is a loss.

I count my pre- and post- op loss. I lost 7 lbs before my 1st appointment, then 23 lbs between that and my surgery. My post op loss has been 45 lbs in a little less than 2.5 months, for a total of 75 lbs over a year. You bet I count it all! LOL

Be sure to do measurements. One of the things I regret not doing.

Don't weigh yourself everyday, either. scales measure weight, not fat.

Wow...amazing pre-op loss!! I agree...count it ALL!!

Thanks everyone, and I do plan on doing measurements each week. My pre op weight was from 2007, so it's been up and down, etc. I just chose to use 464 because it's where I started from, a long long time ago.

I count mine from day of surgery because I didn't lose anything pre-op lol.

I could from my highest weight which was when I met my surgeon in august. I was 332 that day, and dos I was 300, today 263. So i count them all.
