I curious about others rate of loss too but NOT to compare myself to. My surgeon asked me my goal weight and I said I don't one. So no comparisons needed. It doesn't mean I can't be interest in the general rate most lose in the first few months like the OP. Were all adults and not everyone need a lecture based off what others posters wrote in the past.

Me too!

I never set one they asked me the same thing I said ummm smaller healthy? don;t actually have a goal do i need one? they said no its better ot not have a goal as it could be somethign i never reach and i am being far more realistic this way as i will be happy with the results regardless of what the final one is.

I only added the one to my ticker because well it needs one and it’s the average weight for a woman my height lol

Looking over my book I kept the first year the ONLY time I put my weight down was on the 23rd of august 2012 I personally measured my body parts inch loss monthly than keeping track of my weight.
so lets see by 2 months and 8 days out I had lost 106lbs from day of op in total pre and post op 119lbs.

I don’t have any other stats from any other months to tell you more.
I don’t calorie count never have so no help there either.

Started @ 287 (5'10"). Sleeved 10/21. Lost 16 pre-op and weighed 221 this morning. I feel I've been a slow looser, but am not complaining. I feel I need to change up what I'm eating. I've been eating the same Proteins (chix, eggs, cheese, yogurt) and find the more I mix it up the better I do.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
