1month post op report

Well, it has been 4 weeks today since I had the sleeve.  On the positive side, I am doing great health wise, with no pain or complications. I am noticibly smaller. I have people who I have not seen taking a second look to make sure it is really me.  As of today, I have lost 19 pounds since the sleeve, and 40 since starting the pre op diet 11 weeks ago.  I am 6 pounds away from onederland, and my BMI is down to 31. 

On the negative side, I have lose 19 pounds since the sleeve, but 16 of that came in the first week. In the last 3 weeks, I have only lost 3 pounds. I record everything I eat or drink, and I have never gone over 1100 calories in a day. Normally it is about 800. 

I suppose slow and steady wins the race

I just did the math.  I lost 28 lbs the first month or 8% of my beginning weight.  You have lost 19 lbs in the first month or 8% of your beginning weight.  Just stick to plan.  Your are doing great.

Congrats on your weight loss! Wow 40 pounds on your pre op?? You did awesome! What were you eating to lose so much pre op? Just curious, please share

I actually lost only 21 on the pre-op.  The 40 pounds is the total since going on the pre-op.

I did the pre-op for 7 weeks, just to get used to not eating much.  While on it, I had 2 shakes a day, and then around 800 calories for lunch, avoiding carbs as much as possible.

your doing great.  your body is going through a lot of changes, plus most of u**** a stall in week 3.  Just keep doing what your doing

Your are doing great. Keep it up and follow your docs. plan. Congrats

I think we're in the same boat. I lost 16 lb week 1 and 0 week 2 and am < 900 calories day. It will come off in good time. 

Congrats!  That's great weight loss.  Just think - at least according to my insurance requirements, you're no longer eligible for WLS!  I think that's pretty amazing :D
