| I had surgery on May 18, 2010. Thus far I have lost 31 pounds. Im not sure if this is since my surgery or what. I last got weight in april and I was down 12 pounds so between april and may 2010 I have lost 18 pounds. | |

| Also, volume to volume muscle is heavier than fat so, although we all watch our scales & count the kilos you will probably get a better measure of results from measuring your waist etc. My physio said to me before the op that, in many ways we have an advantage over the skinny guys in this area because we all have significant muscle mass simply from the necessity of carrying what amounts to several 10kg sacks of spuds around with us everywhere we go (take a look at your gym going skinny friends and try to imagine how far they'd get carrying that amount of weight all day every day. My husband who does quite a lot of physical labour at his work says there's no way he could do it). The most important thing to do at this stage is to take heaps of protien (opti fast covers this but a protien suplement like spirulina wont hurt) & try & keep up the walking or swimming or whatever low impact exercise we enjoy (or can endure) as much as possible during the initial weightloss period so that we don't lose the advantage we already have. None of us really wants to have to go to all the hassle of regaining that muscle after we've lost all the weight! | |

| Hi I did oprifast for 2 weeks pre surgery and lost 9kg. I am now 4 weeks post op and have lost 19.7kg. So 10.7kg for the first month post surgery I am very happy. I started at 140kg and used to eat huge meals so this is a complete change for me. I am amazed at the sleeve I can eat so little but be so satisfied. Everyone is diffeent so good luck and don't stress because it will come off. Jodie Starting Weight: 140kg Pre Surgery: 131kg Current Weight: 120.3kg First Goal: 99kg Ultimate Goal: 76kg | |

| I forgot to mention that some days I even put on a bit of weigh. I believe it is only water, and I think this is very normal, so don't panic. If you want to make sure that you are on the right track, you can buy keto -stix for home usage at the drug store. The stix will tell you if you are burning fat.

| I am 17 days out and have lost 8 kg. I also lost 5,5 kg in the two weeks before surgery so in total 13,5 kg.
Weight loss depends on starting weight and hight I think. My starting weight was 125,8 kg and my height is 168 cm.
My 8 kg averages at a loss of approx. 0.5 kg a day. Some days I don't loose at all, then suddenly I have lost a kg overnight. It stalled in week 2.
In spite of my weightloss it is difficult to be patient. I have been fat so long that I want to be skinny TODAY! LOL.
Best of luck Kaysa | |

| Hey there I lost the most in the 1st month, dropped 8 kilos, but since then I lost (on average) 1 kilo a week for the next 6 months and since then its slowed down to about 1/2 kilo a week. When I got to 90 kilos, I spent a few weeks with no loss, same thing is now happening at 85. I think it can be quite variable so try not to dwell on it, when you compare what you eat now on what you ate pre-op, you just know you will lose weight!! Yay!!!, cheers | |

I went on a low carb pre op diet for 2 weeks started at 132kilograms- Surgery door was 125 Kilos,
Stats below in Tickers- weight loss has slowed down a little but it's all good, my bodies probably wondering what the hell is going on at the moment....
As for any regrets=NONE WHAT SO EVER ! | |

| Hi, I lost 3.5 on opti and the rest in the first 3 weeks. Haven't lost any from week 3 to 4, but was feeling off and not much activity. I can tell I will have to step up exercise but already love the sleeve after the horrible lap band life. | |

| Hi There
I was sleeved on the 22nd March. Prior to the op I lost 2.8kilos (regular diet not Optifast ) and in the week after the op, lost 13 kilos. I'm entering my 3rd week tomorrow and have noticed that I haven't lost anything in the last week. I guess it will start back up again when my body gets used to the reduction in calories. I started at 150kilos. | |

| every bit counts!
I haven't scheduled the op yet, but I will have to wait a month from the scheduling date. So I'm very excited. I did optifast once, but not a fan at all. The strawberry shakes were the only good ones but the most expensive because of the 12 pack not a 40 pack.
I'm a bit girl (even though I don't look it) and have over 50kg to loose, so i'm expecting a fair bit of weight to come off in the first few months... but I'm definately excited about this journey! | |

| Hi All
Im not quite to a month yet - three weeks and yet to lose anything. I didnt do optifast as the op was organised too quickly. My scales are pretty cra**y, but to date not any loss. Patience I guess is in order.... | |

| your weight loss will depend on how much your starting weight is, how long you did optifast for, how much diet damage you have done to your body BEFORE starting this time, if you where a big eater before or jus a small eater with high calories eater, depends if you are a guy or a girl First month loss can be between about 5kg and upto about 20kg for a BIG guy who has not dieted and was a big eater, as in ate big meals. It is rare to see a 110kg woman drop 20kg in the first month but hey amazing things do happen just do not bank on it. Hope for 5kg and celebrate every kg extra you get :) applesauce | |

| Hi,
I'm two weeks post-op, and I've lost about 10 kilos in all: about 5 pre-op on Opti, and about 5 since.
The weight loss has stalled in the last few days, but from my reading around that's quite normal in the post-op stage, as your body heals and adjusts. Looking forward to its getting moving again next week sometime.
Best,
Dark | |

| hi this Wednesday will by my 4 week mark since the op, and I have lost about 12 kgs, I didn't loose any weight last week, but have started on the move again this week.(I'm guessing it was just my body getting use to the lack of food it's getting now.)
I really didn't do the optifast before the op (My surgeon didn't insist on it), but since December when I was booked in for the op, I have lost 13.9kgs | |

| Hi Bela I lost 6kg on Opti over the 2 weeks, then between 1 and 2 kilograms a week since then. I'm now 11 weeks since surgery and have lost 25kg, which is nearly half of what I wanted to lose! | |

| Hi everyone, I am hopefully going to get the sleeve done very soon, and I'm interested in how much weight everyone lost in the 1st month of liquid diets? The doctor says everyone looses quiet a lot on the optifast and then on the liquid and mushy diet I was just wanting to get figures because she couldn't tell me. I have heard someone lost 20kgs but I just wanted to make sure. Lieza Bela Cinderella | |
