Hi. My name is verda. I had the sleeve on 4/28. I live in grand junction Colorado.

I lost 27 pounds in the first 9 days. And nothing since, its very frustrating but I guess its part of the process.

I look forward to this journey and hope to meet some people who are on the same journey in hopes to get ideas and support from and to share with them. I look forward to hearing others stories.

Hi verda. Congratulations on your impressive loss!!! I was sleeved on 4/30, I'd lost 13 lbs on the pre-op diet, and 12 lbs since surgery, for a total of 25 lbs in about six weeks. I was hoping that I would lose faster than that, but it is what it is.

I have been very sedentary though. I had a hernia repaired at the same time, and that was kind of painful. I'm starting to move now more freely.

I'm hoping that if I just keep doing everything right, I'll keep losing.

You hang in there!

Hello to both of you! I am just starting the journey, but I think you have done real well. Slower and steady is probably better for you anyways, right? What are your doctors saying?

My doctor says its normal for me.

As long as you are able to get in your Protein and Water I wouldn't worry about it.
