Hellya 144 Posted October 13, 2016 *wave* I started at 210 (in August), was at 192 by the day of surgery (9/21) and now I'm 183. (3 weeks out) I'm amazed when I see people who lose 15-20 pounds in the first few weeks after surgery. This feels slow, but I'm not sorry I did it. I'm sure it will come off. This last week (my 3rd week, lol) I've basically not lost anything. But overall, I've lost 27 pounds and I certainly can't be upset about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenjenp 63 Posted October 13, 2016 I'm in the same situation. Losing slow but still losing. Down 30 including pre op diet. I am finally at the point that I'm glad to have done the surgery. I dont enjoy food like I used to. But I guess that's what got me in trouble in the first place. I am 8 1/2 weeks out. I am still nauseous a lot. Hard to drink enough Water. Tastes awful. If i eat anything besides really safe food like yogurt or Soup or shakes. My stomach hurts anyone else? When does it get better?

LizHobbs 27 Posted October 17, 2016 When I did my surgery I was 227 and I lost in 1 1/2 month 33 lbs. I wished I had lost more but I am okay with what I lost. I had the sleeve done , I think the By pass you loose faster but you have more dumping and the other stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
