[hopingtolose2013 81]

If so... how much did u lose and how fast? I know everyone is different...just trying to gauge my expectations. I have one month after surgery before returning to work. Will I look or feel any different? This is my highest weight and I am soooo uncomfortable. I f eel better around 175...never been lower. I am hoping to feel better soon!

Everyone is different so it would be tough to say. Depends really on your metabolism, age height etc... I started at 220 I am 5'2 and 49 I think I lost like 17lbs my first month. I have seen some lose a lot more and some a lot less.

How tall are you because bmi plays a factor but so does a lot of other things like age, genetics, etc.

Well I'm 30 started at 254 and I'm 5'10. I had it on 6/24. And I go back to work tomorrow. I lost 16lbs this week but I've seen everyone is wry different.

When I started this journey I was at 198 and I am 5' tall. At surgery I was 180. When I went for my 4 wk post-op I dropped 25 lbs. I looked & felt better. Went to work after 5 weeks & it was very noticeable. Down 60 lbs total & it's been 7 mons.

I was 204 lbs. day of surgery. I am 5'3 and was sleeved 2/12. Currently I am 157 lbs. I have found that people that start out weighing less (200-215 lbs) lose the weight slower than the heavier sleevers (250 lbs +). My suggestion is do not compare yourself to other sleevers. Our journeys are all unique, but rest assured the weight will come off!

I was 200lbs day if surgery. I had my surgery on the 18 March. I am 5' tall. Yesterday was 15 weeks. I'm down 51lbs. And yes everyone is different. I lost 24 lbs the first 2 weeks and then gained 2lbs. Then sat for two weeks doing nothing. Hope all goes good for you. I still don't eat a lot. My typical day is a Protein Shake for Breakfast, a yogurt for lunch, then a couple of tsp of coleslaw and a small piece of meat at supper. Before I go to bed or in the evening I have a little snack.< /p>
