Thanks ladies!!

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 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.
