Great job everyone! I am a month out from my 1 year and have hit my first goal but going to keep going until my body decides to stop losing. It has been slow the past 3-4 months with only losing about 2-3 lbs verses the 12 plus previously but I couldnt be happier. I have lost close to 140 lbs since I started my journey and about 80 since surgery. Keep up the good work everyone!!

Thanks ladies!!

Started at 318 down to 198 and about another 15-20 pounds to goal weight which are coming off slowly but feeling great and could t be happier!

Hi All, 7 month out and I am about 15 pounds away from goal and finally under 200 pounds. Started at 318 and down to 198. My dr stated that getting the last 15 pounds will take some time and now that I am so close to goal. Feeling good and so happy with my decision.

You are doing great. 41 pound since surgery is a great accomplishment and 133 total! MY surgeons office said that on average you can expect to lose 10 pounds per month and you are exceeding that so don't get down. You should also keep track of your measurements, I find this extremely motivating. There have been weeks where the loss is slow but I have lost several inches and can start fitting into a smaller size (yay)!

HI, Sleeved on 3/28 and have lost 52 pounds since surgery and the hair loss has been terrible. I have very thick hair and it is just coming out in clumps when I wash it. I discussed this with my NP at my surgeons office and she suggested taking extra biotin and increasing protein intake. It has helped as the hair loss seems to have slowed. I am hoping it nearing the end as she said to expect it for another month or so. For those that are experiencing some stalls, I suggest upping your water intake and your calorie intake (good food choices). Every time I do this it jump starts the weight loss again.

congrats!

Surgery on 3/28 lost 54 pre-op and 31 pounds post op. The loss has slowed but I have upped my workouts building more muscle. As long as the inches come off and I make it to goal, I am not really concerned.

Hi Ladies, My highest weight was 318 and was at 264 the day of surgery. I am now 232 at 9 weeks post op. I have to agree with a previous poster that sizes dropped slowly at first but now are dropping quickly (10-15 pounds is equalling a drop in size verses 40 pounds plus in the beginning). I really didnt start noticing a difference in my body until people started to comment and even then, I really wasn't seeing it. It only really started to sink in when I emptied my closet and tried on all of my clothes and seeing how large they looked for it to properly click. I think for women it is harder to lose weight in our middle sections so its not surprising that most of us have seen most of our weight loss in our upper bodies and faces. My weight was evenly distributed but aways had a bigger lower stomach which is shrinking but at a much slower pace.

congrats!!!

Thanks All

Thank you

I have three boys, 9,5,and 4 and besides being tired the first week and needing naps, I was able to continue my normal daily routine with them. Having your husband at home the first week will be very helpful to allow you time to rest and get your walking in.

Thank you!

Thank you!
