Don’t give up. You’ve pretty much lost a 100 pounds in one year! Oh em gee! Keep it up and stay positive. One more year or less and you will be at your goal.

hey bud - it's been around 7 weeks since your original post.
i thought your weight loss was great then, and you were doing fine.
has your dream weight of being under 200 lbs happened? if it did, that's great. if not, that's ok too.
i know it will happen. - remember, this is a sprint, not a race - good luck - chin up - life is good, gets better all the time. PATIENCE kathy

You are doing great and I'm hoping to be as successful as you.

Your weight loss is phenomenal! People must be commenting on it positively. Think how unlikely it is that you would have lost 98 pounds without the surgery. You have probably replaced all the clothes in your wardrobe.

We talked in my sleeve support group about plateaus or “stalls.“ Apparently most people experience them and they are always frustrating. The advice given was to “hang in there,” as people could go weeks stuck on the same number on the scale and then all the sudden lose 3, 4, or 5 pounds all at once. If you haven’t been back to your dietitian recently, you may want to do that so that he or she can review your diet. Try making small changes in diet or exercise or Water. I am so impressed with what you have already done.

Update: My stall has Passed! Im am now 198 making me exactly 100 pounds down, 9 months post op!

Having mine may 12!!!! So excited[emoji1487]

That is totally amazing. That’s over ten pounds a month.

You've lost like...93 pounds in 8 months! That's amazing!
Be patient, you'll get there. The home stretch is hard.
If you want to up your game a little...add more exercise. You got this!

What was your starting weight?

Is it normal for me to not be under 200 pounds 8 months post op? I am currently 205 and i feel like its taking me a long time to get out the 200s does anyone have any ideas of what i can do.

Not sure this is the right place to ask for money for college. Maybe try Facebook or Instagram. This is a bariatric support website....

Is normal to not be under 200 pounds 8 months post op? I started off at 298. I am now 205. And i am at a stall

Hello leanne! I am from Texas, and YESS i am so ready to have it already. I have been jumping through sooo many hoops when it comes to insurance. I guess once you get past that part you can finally breathe again.

Hello Darrie,
