JMJames92 115 Posted October 11, 2016 Welcome! You are off to a phenomenal start!!Thank you. I hope I can continue on like this. I know that the weight loss will eventually slow obviously but as long as it keeps going in the right direction I am happy.

I know that the weight loss will eventually slow obviously but as long as it keeps going in the right direction I am happy. Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App That's a good attitude. I lost 99 pounds pre-op, and I have lost another 16 pounds in the 12 days since my surgery on September 28. That's a little over a pound a day. I know it won't continue at this rate forever, but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts! Eventually, it will probably settle back into the 3ish pounds a week that it was during my pre-op diet.
