I’ve lost 26 pounds.

First, the obligatory disclaimer: remember that everyone is different and will have different weight loss rates. Age, starting weight, genetics, height, complications all factor in to each person's weight loss rates.

Second, a thought: Instead of just total units lost, probably a more telling statistic would be maybe BMI (which factors in height), or Percentage of Total Body Weight Lost (but this doesn't take into account lean muscle changes...), or Percentage of Inches Lost in certain areas of body measurements (but everyone carries their weight differently...)

Lastly: Anyhoo, with that said, we are human after all, and we can't help but compare and be curious:

** Note that I am on the vertically-challenged side of 5' 1" **

Highest weight: 235.0 lbs (10-Oct-2018) BMI: 44.4 (morbidly obese)

Surgery weight: 223.2 lbs (24-Oct-2018)

Today's weight: 148.8 lbs (26-Mar-2019, 5 months + 2 days post op) BMI: 28.1 (overweight)
% of Body Weight Lost: 36.7% (-86.2 lbs)
% of inches lost chest: 25.0% (-12.0")
% of inches lost waist: 28.7% (-12.5")
% of inches lost hips: 22.2% (-11.0")

** Yes, I keep track of EVERYTHING. You should see my spreadsheet :) **

Thank you so much!
You definitely establish a new benchmark/standard on how to report weight loss!
And I am glad to see there are some fellow spreadsheet freaks in the forum.
I will have surgery on May 8th, and I promise I will be reporting based on "ms.sss" standard.
Cheers to all from Spain and thank you so much for sharing. I read almost each single of your comments and it gives a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

@med28thmed, here's how I do updates, from a phone: tap on the 3 lines top right corner on the screen, select "patients", select "my surgery," select the "my surgery with the 3 lines beside it, then select "progress." Fill in the blanks then save.

From a computer at the top of the screen, choose patients, my surgery and then to the left is progress...fill in the blanks then save.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
