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.

I like to look at this to see where I'm at compared to where I should be.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
