How is your weight loss going?

[tempemama 1]

I'm 16 days out and down 21lbs (pre-op appointment weight).

I'm 5' tall, SW 213/ CW 192.

It's really bizarre going from being a lifelong fat kid to having no appetite. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all, but am very thankful for a second chance.

SW: 245 CW: 217 GW: 130ish

Had my surgery 10-26-16. Started @ 401.1 2weeks prior. Went on liquid diet before surgery and lost 17 pounds. Am now down 42 pounds and very happy with the results. I have been very compliant food-wise and started PT to get back on the road to exercise. Feeling sooo good!

Nearly 6 weeks out, about 32lbs down from surgery day. For me, the scale moves for several days, then it levels out for a few days. I'm just sticking to my plan as best I can and not worrying about it too much. Kinda bummed about raging post-op acne, but I'm guessing that will smooth out after the major weight loss is over and my hormone levels stabilize. I am super happy to have some actual food in my belly again though--yay for poached chicken!

I had my sleeve mid-October and have lost about a pound a day since surgery. I'm happy with those results, however I know others that have lost 15-20 lbs 7-10 days out. I'm just curious to see what the norm is.

Currently going through this now. I had surgery 10/10 and I honestly don't feel the weight is falling off like I hoped. I'm a part of the Bariatric surgery community on Instagram so I get a lot of progress updates from people who have similar surgery dates. I feel like I'm behind the rest of the class. People keep telling me not give up and keep my working hard. Honestly at times I have "buyer's remorse" and feel having surgery was a waste. It is extremely difficult to see the light at end of the tunnel.
