    That's exactly what I dropped my first week and I started at 300 on surgery day. Did you do any pre-op? If so, you'd already dropped all your water weight and this was a good solid loss... you're doing great! Don't forget you are starting at a lower weight as well....
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    You are doing fine. Keep your head up. I was one of the ones that dropped a ton initially but 12 days out and I have only lost about .3 pounds over 3 days. It will come!

    You are fine, that is good weight loss. Some people just seem to shower it off, I on the other hand drop mine very slow. I am so ok with that, look at how we used to be----this time if we continue to be smart about our journey---we will be the slim people we have always wanted to be---AND IT WILL STAY AWAY!!! (WE HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AND IT WILL LAST YOU A LIFETIME!!!) It took a long time to get big, remember, our bodies don't know how to act now that they are not getting all the dumb stuff we used to feed them. Blessings-Connie
