How fast should the weight be coming off?
I had my gastric sleeve done on 4/16/2012 and I have only lost about 50lbs, I feel like I am not eating hardly anything....but the weight seems to be coming off soooo slowly is this normal? How did everyone elses weight come off, slow of fast? :confused:
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
Fifty pounds in 2 months is great. Your body has to keep up.
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
I feel like its good but I also just feel like its not coming off soon enough....maybe I just need reassurance because I dont feel like my clothes are fitting any looser...ugh!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
You've lost just about a pound a day. Sounds terrific to me!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
A pound a day i about what they told me to expect so i think you're doing FANTASTIC!!! The sleeve surgery helps you loose the weight much more slowly than the RNY which is one of the reasons i chose it.
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
Oh thanks guys! I really appreciate your feedback and I will keep everyone posted on my progress as I go back to the Dr on thursday!!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
You're doing much better than average! As far as clothes, I don't know why but it happens all of a sudden. I dropped 60 lbs before I changed sizes. I think it's because the larger sizes are so roomy.....
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
I would have to agree on the clothing issue. Most of my clothes were "strechy" material therfore not feeling much different on me...very annoying! lol but thanks I appreciate your feedback Grace!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
My surgery was the same day as yours and I am down 32lbs so I would say that you are doing BETTER than average...... I am happy with a slower weight loss... It gives my body and skin the time it needs to bounce back. Are you counting any pre-op weight loss?? If that's the case I am down 50 as well and 3 clothing sizes.
Good Luck!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
YES, I am counting the pre op, 319lbs when I started the Liquid Fast. So in that case WE are both doing better than average!! Good Luck to you as well!!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
You are doing good! I can't see any reason to be concerned at all! Your weight loss is good! Don't get discouraged. Those pants will be falling off of ya soon enough!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
I think you are doing great!!! I had my sleeve about 1 week before you and have lost over 50lbs. I have already thrown out so much of my clothes because it literally does not fit. I say be patient and you are doing great!!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
I had my surgery on 4/17/12, and have lost -63 lbs from my highest, and -53 lbs counting from the start of the pre-op diet. So, it seems like we are all losing at about the same rate! :) Good to know! I don't want to lose so super fast, either.. Not healthy for your body, I don't think.
My clothes are big, too! .. I NEVER dry my clothes in the dryer, and just recently, I put my jeans in there to dry, and it helped shrink them a bit!! I put my shirts in there til almost dry, and I'll see if that helps, too.. Crazy, I know, but I never wanteddd them to shrink before, so I always just hung them to air dry in the laundry room!
Re: How fast should the weight be coming off?
UPDATE: I went to the doc lastnight and weighed in.......59.7 lbs!! So close to sixty I can taste it...soooo much more to come off, I can not wait!! Thanks everyone! :)

Hi Dawn,
My weight loss has been slow and steady - and that's the way I like it! Just know that your that moving closer to your goal and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Best wishes for continued success!
