How Many pounds are you down

Good morning all, I figured it was time for an update on your weight loss so far, I am going to Dr this evening and stepping on the dreaded scale, not my usual scale but will let you know the total when I get back, but anyway any amount counts, a lbs is a lbs so don't be afraid to share

I am at the 88 lbs lost so far, 30 pounds to my 180 goal... 40 from my wishful weight of 170..... Maybe I could get down to 150 like when I was getting out of basic training in 1991.. Keep up the great work everyone....

How do I find out if my Doctor did y sleeve small enough. I'm 4weeks out and I'm already able to consume lots of water and a pretty decent amount . I weighed 242lbs before pre op the day of surgery I weighed in at 229 today I weigh 214lbs is that good because I've seen a few friends lose lots more within 4wks . I'm started to feel a bit discouraged

My surgery was 5/10/2017 I'm down 23 lbs which I lost the 1st 2 weeks. I haven't lost any weight since. I've been STILL on smoothies and purée foods but haven't lost a pound. I still haven't been able to get 64oz of water each day but getting my protein in. What do you think I should do - I'm stalled?

Just keep doing what you are doing, your body needs time to adjust to your new eating habits, once you add a little more food it should start coming off again, and really try to get that water in to flush out your system, the more water I drink the more the number on the scale drops. Good luck
 
Kind of late chiming in, but am proudly down 22 lbs, just preparing for surgery. One more doc appt and then it will be sent in for approval. Vitamins are ordered and I plan to take them to my next doc appt to make sure I got the right stuff. Clothes are starting to fit a little looser, face is a little thinner, life is so good! Best of all, my KNEES have quit hurting me. I could not have made a better decision in having this surgery. Its a real commitment and one I am so ready to make. Trying to convince my son and daugher in law they need to visit Florida while I am having surgery, only half joking. They travel a lot, so there is hope. I miss them.

Keep up all the great work I am seeing posted. This is the most positive group I have found anywhere and I always feel better after reading it. Any weight loss is better than no weight loss, just follow the directions from your doctor and get active. If you do that, weight loss has to happen.
