Had surgery 6/24. Lost 21 pounds so far - can someone tell me how long it took to lose your weight?

Use the heavy scale app, it has great weight loss predictors based on current and overall weight loss

If you need an andriod app, instead of iOS, try Libra Weight Manager. It does the same thing.

depends on where you start (200 lbs? 300 lbs? 400 lbs?) , how compliant you are with your program, and your rate of weight loss. Some people lose everything in six months - some in a year (common), and some even into year 2. I finally stopped losing about 18-20 months post-op.

I had surgery the same day as you (sleeve). As of today I have lost about 25lbs. i expect that will slow down some as I add foods back in, but i feel like I can lose 15lbs a month till I get to my goal weight

Good luck

I’m going to download the happy scale app to check out! Hubz and I are 12 days out and at 31&27.

Guys I also found a free app called “Monitor Your Weight” that allows you to add your weight daily, set your target weight goal and target date goal. It’s what I was looking for - I wanted a daily log to look back on. This may be TMI (so stop reading now if you’re squirley) but as we know, this process definitely leaves us constipated. Someone on here stated they use colace when needed. Well after 3 days of usage, last night I finally went and I literally felt like my life exited my body! :). In all seriousness, not going for that long made me feel sluggish. Anyway - long story short - I lost 2 POUNDS that next morning. Crazy.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
