I had the sleeve done 3 months ago.. I was revision from the lap band that I had removed 5 years ago. I had major problems with it. My question is, I've lost 38 lbs since surgery and I feel like that is so slow compared to what I hear from everyone else. Ya I know not to compare myself, but honestly I worry that I'm doing something wrong. I'm scared because of having the band failure. Has anyone else had slow weight loss? I'm so worried!!

Don't compare but if you want to:

At 3 months I was 47 Lbs and 30.5 inches lost.

Don't compare bc everyone is different, I'm 8 weeks out and 38.8lbs down however lots of people have more or less. Depending on starting weight, height, how your body reacts to weight loss.

38 pounds in 3 months. That's over 12 pounds per month!!!!!

When you look at it like that, it ain't slow honey. It's fantastic! :) :)

I know you've heard it before but you didn't gain it in 3 months, it's not gonna come off in 3 months.

Patience. Patience. Patience. :unsure:

Because I had lower BMI to begin with, I don't expect to lose at the same rate as others with more to lose than me. Instead, I see the clothes size dropping, as well as pounds. I'm about 5 and a half months out and down about 60 pounds. The number on the scale does not mean as much as the image looking back at me in the mirror. I'm 20 pounds away from goal! Don't worry, stick with your plan and you will be successful and so proud of your new body in no time!

I'm also on a slow week so it must be normal. Never compare as every has different starting weights and all different sizes ages etc. the main thing is we are all working at it and have a common end goal. To be thinner !!!! Well done you and good luck for the future x

      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.
