All,

I am trying to find out the average weight loss for most people in their 1st 4-6 months. August 16th I will be 5 months out and to date I have lost 83lbs. My ultimate goal is 150lbs. I wondering how long I take or took most to reach that goal?

Be careful comparing your rate of loss to others...you may be setting yourself up for a letdown. For a multitude of various reasons, everyone loses at a different pace. My wife would beat herself up for not matching my numbers, when in reality, she has done phenomenal...just not as rapid in her early stages as she would have liked.

It looks like you are doing awesome...83 lbs. in five months is great!

Good luck on your continued success! :)

@@Who Dat 70461, I am not comparing. I was just wondering how each individuals progress differs. I see a varying range in how each of us loss but was trying to get a compile view of the differences. I think my weight is coming off but just want to see how others are doing.

@@BladeFox, no gloating here! Just trying to educate myself on this thing called the sleeve:)

Don't look at lbs lost but at % of weight you want/need to lose, if you need to compare this is a fairer way to do it.

I started pre operation diet at 520 on June 4th Operation June 18th at 480 and today at 425. total 95 pounds but I have a lot more weight to lose than most humans. I am very happy even though my weight loss is slowing down.

WhoDat,

Just seeing your profile next to your post is an inspiration to me. I am pre-op for GS and it looks like you are very similar to my condition. I am at ~332lb and would love to get down to around 220. It looks like you did it, so I know it can be done.

I think everyone is going to be a little different as to how much and how soon the weight comes off. I have been losing at a pretty good rate so far but my nutritionist told me to expect it to slow down at some point. The Dr. told me well ahead of the surgery to expect about 70% of my overage to be lost the first year, and then slowly after that.

Here's some average weight-loss data I googled up: http://www.tylerbariatrics.com/weight-loss.htm

As everyone has said, if you're above/below average that means nothing against your overall success!

Peace be with you!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
