Everybody's metabolism is different. I had my gastric sleeve on April 14. By the time I got home from the hospital I had lost 13 pounds and I have only lost one pound since then. I had the sleeve because even eating only 600 calories a day, I didn't loose weight. In my pre-op classes they said that you lose more weight quickly with the gastric by-pass, but after 5 years the total amount of weight you lose is the same between the two types of surgery. I'm sure I will lose more, but right now I'm just happy I lost anything.
Good luck and hang in there!:
