Hi, I was sleeved on 10-6-16 and was wondering what everybody's weight loss rate was. When was the peak of your weight loss? During what months did you lose the most?

Here are my stats:

5'8

Hw 306

Sw 291

Cw 265

Goal 180ish

I feel like I'm a slow loser but I'm ok with that. I just want to know if there were certain times people lost more. (Example-5-6 months out)

I was sleeved on 7/7/16.

HW 221

SW 214

I have my breakdown of loss by month:

June -7

July -16

August -15

September -8

October -7

November -9

I've seen others on this board who have lost at the same rate as I have or even faster express disappointment in their loss. But personally I'm thrilled and my rate of loss has exceeded my expectations so far.

I think a lot of times we have unrealistic expectations for weight loss. Yes, we had this procedure done but that doesn't change the biological factors involved in weight loss.

Losing 2 lbs a week is considered very fast weight loss, yet there are folks in the WOS community who call themselves "slow losers" if they aren't shedding 3-4 lbs a week.

I've seen posts where people are disgusted and discouraged when they "only" lost 20lbs on a 14 day preop.

We're all anxious to be our new (or old), slimmer selves, but don't discount the process. It's not liposuction. We're learning to make new choices around food, forming what will (hopefully) be our habits for the rest of our lives. Just losing all the weight isn't the challenge with dieting or WLS - long term success is.

Thank you for the break down. I really just wanted to know what to expect. I am perfectly fine with a slow process as long as it keeps coming off.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
