How much have you lost????

Wow - it's amazing how well men do with this surgery. I wanna kick their butts!! hahaha I was 272 on May 11th This morning I'm 220 Total of 52lbs I moved from a size 22/24 on May 11th to a size 14/16 today

I was told pre-op that I would likely lose easier being a male. They said it's due to men having more muscle mass.

As of the 12th of July down 43 pounds plus 10 prior to surgery for a grand total of 53 pounds. I only weight once per month. My next weigh in will be August 16th at my doctors office. I have been working out 4 days per week going to be kicking it up to see if the weight really starts to come off. Lorraine

Two months and 9 days later I am down 69.4 pounds. Time to go on a bike ride in this 97° heat index weather (not because I should but because its fun to work out). Life is good. Hawkeye Mike

post op: 8 weeks and 32 lbs preop : 11 weeks and 28 lbs so really having trouble seeing the benefits of WLS

I know what you mean!!...i lost 50 pounds in the 4 months before surgery....only lost 40 since surgery on May 1st...i'm thinking, what's the deal here?...lol.....the dr. had put me on Adipex for those 4 months....if i could've kept taking them, i might have lost more than after having the surgery....let's hope it gets better soon!!

I totally agree. hoping for improvement. the last 10 days have been phenomenally better. less puking, more exersize, better loss, however this week I am doing HORRIBLY on fluid consumption. I pack a 16 oz bottle around EVERYWHERE and I am barely able to get 1.5 down a day. so that is less than 30 oz a day and I am sure that is delaying my progress. my nurse said that stress also makes it worse. and that would explain why guys do better, they do not get stressed.

10 weeks out and 45 lbs! Sounds slow to me but I guess it is about average. The scales do not move for a few days and then WOW! Down 3-4 lbs. Wish God has blessed us women with the same metabolism as guys! They seem to lose so much faster!! For those who are depressed - WE WILL MAKE IT and the scales are going in the right direction! We will all be surprised at out 1 year anniversary!! Darlene

11 weeks and 50 lbs i thought i would lose more cuz im so heavy i was 418 the day of surgery

10 1/2 weeks out 35.5 lbs lost.
