Has anyone lost 100+ pounds?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if it is possible to lose this much, and if so, how long did it take you?

I know everyone is different. Just looking to hear some different stories :)

I lost 200. I lost almost exactly 50 preop (about 6 months, but about 20 of that was just in the 4 week preop diet I had), then after surgery it took me just under a year to lose the other 150. I exercised EVERY day and stuck to the post op instructions regarding diet religiously. I also tracked every bite of food in mfp. Best of luck to you! Listen to your doctors/nurses/p.a.s and it will happen.

I have heard of many who lost 100or more with the sleeve. I personally have lost 72 so far and I am only just coming up on 4 months out. I fully expect to lose about another 80-90 to hit my goal range.

I'm at 104ish from highest. I lost 15 or so before meeting with doctor. During preop I lost another 36 or so. I had surgery 10/26 (almost 3 months ago), and have lost another 52.2 - for a total of 103.8 (89.2 since meeting surgeon 8/12, 52.2 since surgery 10/26).

Down 105 lbs in 8.5 months no pre-op diet since my surgeon doesn't do one. It's mind blowing that I only have 40ish lbs to reach my first goal.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
