    Thank you to everyone who replied to my post, all of your thoughts, comments and encouragement is great appreciated.

    I lost 2lbs this week so I am hoping it continues. I am eating healthy foods and continuing with the exercise. My diet has changed radically from pre-surgery, it is quite shocking the difference (not just in terms of calories and portion sizes, but also the quality of food I eat).

    I am keeping myself motivated towards my goal of IVF. Thank you all again xx

    Thank you Possum220. You have done so amazingly well, congratulations on all of the milestones you achieved. I am noticing little things and am very appreciative of the weight loss so far.

    Yep, definitely going to stay off the scales for a while.
    Thank you for your kind words and words of motivation xxx

    Thank you SuziDavis, it’s reassuring to know others haven’t heard of the 50% loss in the first 3 months as it was making me worry x

    Thank you Khappy77, I think you are right, I need to not focus on the scale so often and try and focus on more positive thoughts to keep me motivated.
    Thank you for the advice x

    Hello everyone
    I had my gastric bypass on 22nd February 2023 and although I am super thankful that I have lost weight, I am constantly worried I will not lose enough.
    One of the reasons I opted for the bypass (although there are other reasons) is because I do not have any children and I have unfortunately been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and told that the only way I will possibly conceive is IVF, but I cannot get IVF on the NHS unless my weight is below 30 BMI. Some clinics do offer slightly higher BMIs (around 35) but they are all private and unfortunately I cannot afford to pay privately. For reference I am 5ft 5inches.
    I feel my weight loss has been quite slow for my starting weight and I read elsewhere that you usually lose 50% of your weight within the first 3 months, which has me worried as I think I am unlikely to hit 50% by 22nd May.
    I would be really grateful for anyone’s comments/experiences and have pasted below my weigh ins.
