I disagree. Everyone's journey is different. Also, being bigger means our journey is longer.

I just reached 6 months 5 days ago and I'm 103lbs down. I went from 340lbs to 237! I'm proud but the weight loss has slowed down immensely. I need to start working out![emoji24]

I’m scheduled for bypass on 3/19 and I can’t wait! My highest weight was 320 lbs and I currently weigh 304 lbs. On Monday I have my pre-op class and I am pretty sure I will be starting my pre-op diet on Tuesday.

Long story short, I shaved my head due to MASSIVE hair loss after bypass. I was losing clumps of hair every day and had a very obvious bald spot. I bought a hair topper wig to cover it with but it only helped for 2 weeks before it no longer covered the growing baldness. So I said screw it.... and shaved my entire head!
I feel empowered. It's something I've always wanted to do.
I'm also 248lbs currently! My starting weight was 340lbs. Worth the hair loss

I had bypass on 4/23/18. My starting weight was 340lbs. I'm currently 221lbs. That's a total weight loss of 119lbs! I honestly can't tell you a time I remember being this small my entire life. I'm so happy!
First goal: 250lbs [emoji818]
Second goal: 225lbs [emoji818]
Third goal: 199lbs ...*pending*
Final goal: 160-170lbs
I never worked out until this month. These last 22lbs until onederland are stubborn. I'm also doing keto and intermittent fasting.
This surgery changed my life. I'm almost positive I would be closer to 400lbs by now if I didn't have this surgery.

I'm at 234lbs... I didn't lose anything in November and half way through December i'm only a pound down. I've been in a stall for a month and a half. Old eating habits are starting to creep back in & I'm scared. I think i'm going to reach out to a therapist & a nutritionist. I don't want this opportunity I've been given to go to waste. I'm a total of 106lbs down & that's amazing. I never thought I'd be this far! But i'm ready to lose more. I want to hit onderland!

Wow that's wonderful, congrats!!

I noticed an increase in sense of smell for a little while. I noticed an increase in taste ability as well for a bit. Both have gone back to normal at this point.

My heaviest weight was 370.
In 2010 I had the band installed (such a mistake, waste of time, money and effort IMO)
March 10th, 2018 at my Pre-Surgical check in I was 310.
March 21st, 2018 at check in for surgery I was 294.4. I had the band removed and revised to the bypass.
Today, January 23rd, 2019. 308 days after surgery... I hit a number that I haven't seen in more than 20 years Onederland.
I'm down 95 lbs since surgery, 110.6 lbs from pre-surgical. And a staggering 170.6 lbs from my heaviest weight.

I need to thank so many people that if I tried, I'd forget someone and then we'd start with the hard feelings.
So I'll go with this.
Thank you.
If you've helped me through this in any way, shape, or form, Thank you.

I'm really digging it!
