merraculous 32 Posted February 22, 2021 I am just over two months post op and I have lost 52.8 pounds. It’s not as rapid as it was in the beginning, but definitely the scale is only going down. I also have been exercising plenty. 1 Dorky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EllaKop 37 Posted February 22, 2021 I’ve lost 72lbs in just under 5 months. My weight loss has slowed but still losing about 10lbs a month. I’ve upped my exercise since the excess weight isn’t holding me back. I swim 3/4 times a week. Got back in the pool about two months ago after being out for 10 years. Starting to feel like myself again. Excited for you to experience the thrills of this journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a really nice summary of your weight loss! 1 kunkelgw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baritastic - it’s so great you can log your food and input recipes to get a good idea of calories per serving. It has been my greatest tool! It also tracks your BMI! 2 kunkelgw and Tim C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't appear so from the picture. Were you exercising a lot nd eating very little during that time? Thanks for replying and congratulations! I honestly have no idea why the weight came off so fast. I have always just kind of guessed it was because of my age. I did not lost any hair and I actually wasn't exercising at all for like the first year after my surgery. I was eating VERY little for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MariaC6 45 Posted February 25, 2021 I’m almost 6 months post op VSG. At surgery my BMI was 35. I’m 5’9 and in my mid 40’s. I have hypothyroidism/Hashimoto’s. I may be a slow loser but I’m incredibly happy with my surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losin' it in MN 13 Posted February 25, 2021 I feel like I’m more of a slow loser too. I lost 30lbs. pre-op, and then 44 the first 90 days. I’m now at 4 months out and down at total of 85lbs. from my highest weight of 299. It’s fun reading these stories. Way to go everyone!!! 1 MariaC6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Officially Not Fatty Matty 462 Posted February 25, 2021 Lost 68 in the first 90 and am down 120 today from 8mos ago. Slowed a lot since November but still trending down a couple pounds a week. Seems like a week without losing then two or three days where it’s a pound a day then a week stall. BMI is down to 26 so almost “healthy” starting from BMI 40. Thought my goal of 220lbs was overly optimistic but now I’m thinking 199 is doable. At 213 now (6’4”) and feeling great. “Wish I did this years ago” as many people say. 1 lizonaplane reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ANewJourneyAwaits 155 Posted February 26, 2021 I’m a slow loser too. Probably the slowest. I had VSG on the 24th of December. Pre-surgery I lost 23lbs. At two months yesterday, I am down 26lbs after surgery or 50lbs total at the two month mark (it may be more than that as I weigh every Sunday). I’m pretty consistent at 2-3lbs per week. Luckily, I’ve still had no Hair loss. I average about 700 calories but sometimes a little more or little less. I get frustrated with my slower losses but then the inches lost and muscle definition make me feel better. Incidentally, my surgeon doesn’t worry about weight loss until month 3 and said my weight loss should pick up the most Between month 4-8. So, who knows? 4 Dorky, kunkelgw, MariaC6 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FINFAN3DP 79 Posted March 4, 2021 These numbers are awesome! I had my surgery on 1/29/2021, and I'm down 28lbs since then. Seems like it has stalled slowed a bit in the last couple weeks. I'm down 67 overall since last February when I started this whole idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
