I had my surgery on January 25th, 2023, Im 5"1 and I weighed 210 lbs. Today I weigh 157 lbs. So it's almost been a little over three months and I feel better but still have some issues when it comes to eating. Some days I cannot eat a bite and on others, I can eat a small meal without difficulty. I am happy with my decision to make this lifestyle change overall.

I want to start by saying I know that "everyone is different," and "it's not a race, it's a journey", but I sometimes have a hard time relating because I had VSG at 199 lbs (I'm 5'2") and the weight loss just seems so much slower than most of what I see online. I'm 6 wks post-op and down 21 lbs since surgery and 33.5 lbs including pre-op diet. I've seen the charts saying how much I can expect to lose in what time-frames, but I would love to hear from others with similar starting stats. I get discouraged pretty easily and need some inspiration or similar stories.
How long did it take to reach your goal? How much had you lost at about 6 wks (or 1-2 months?) When did you see the biggest loss?
Thanks!!
