    Fifty pounds in 2 months is great. Your body has to keep up.

    You've lost just about a pound a day. Sounds terrific to me!

    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.

    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.....
    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    Starting BMI 2/3/2012 - 38
    Goal BMI-24! REACHED and BELOW!! 10/2012 Current BMI 21.0!
    The best goals reached are the ones hardest earned.

    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!!

    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!


    01/26/12: 342.6 - Highest Weight
    03/01/12: 333 lbs - 1st Wt @ Surgeon's office
    04/17/12: 310.4 lbs - Surgery Day
    05/14/12: -50.6 gone
    10/06/12: -100.8 gone
    04/17/13: (ONE YR Post Op) -143.6 gone

    5/1/17: Regaining.. it sucks

    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!
