Hi. Were you sleeved on Dec 11? That is my date and we share almost the SAME weight loss. I JUST posted something similar today. Others who were sleeved after me, my buddy Seahawks, for example, has lost 40 pounds since surgery and his surgery was in mid/late January

Me. Since Dec 11 surgery, I went from 321 to 287 (current weight) I've hit a lot of stalls, valley's, It's a crazy ride. Total loss since surgery 34 pounds since surgery, 57 since preop diet 2 weeks before surgery

Me, my preop diet was Nov 27 to Dec 11 and I lost 23 pounds in that time

Maybe we aren't so far behind afterall.

My aunt told me last week to chill and just enjoy this journey.

It's not a race, it is a journey

Remind me as I remind you

35 pounds is GREAT! You have nothing to be unhappy about. Your doing awesome!

[Toomanytacos 251]

You're such a wonderful guy, Seahawks a wonderful encourager.

To VSG Meow ****** (lol), Seahaws is right

You're doing wonderful and just going by the numbers I have lost more than you. However

I, am much heavier than you and as you should know, the heavier you are (weight on scale on surgery date) the faster the initial weight drops off

So the fact that you've lost what you have, the weight you were on surgery day, you are doing AMAZING

Keep in mind, on my surgery date, I was 321, so you and I are in diff galaxies and it makes sense I've lost faster than you

Good job, sugar!

Good job, you are making great progress. Think in terms of percent of excess weight lost vs lbs.

That's still not bad at all! It's above the average of 1.5 - 2lbs per week. Your average is actually 3 pounds per week. You also have less to lose than a lot of other people. The less weight you have to lose the harder it is. Just keep at it and you'll get there. Remember, you didn't gain this weight overnight.

Yes i was sleeved on 12/11/17. We have the same surgery date! Sorry for the typo. I wrote 11/11/17 but meant 12/11/17.

I'm an April fool baby too!

I was sleeved on 12/27 and my pace is pretty similar. You are fine. I was a little bummed about the scale numbers but my measurements and clothes sizes are doing wonderfully. Also my cholesterol is down enough to stop taking my statin, my blood sugar is normal again, my resting heart rate is in the low 70s instead of 90s.

Look at ALL your victories and stop looking only at that scale. The scale will follow.
