Am I on Track?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

September ------> weighed 420

Banded in December-> weighed 385

Current weight ------> 330

Based on my stats, am I on track? I admit to having no exercise program other than having a very physical job. I know I have to exercise but it's hard.

Thanks!!

I've only been banded for 7 days, so what do I know?

But in my opinion, I think you are doing awesome!

you are supposed to lose an average of 1 - 2lb per week. You have lost 55lb in approx 27 weeks.I think that you are doing well.

You didn't gain a lot of weight. So, you are on track. There is no track. everyone is different and as long as you are losing and feeling good. Then keep going.

Congrats on your progress. You're doing great!!

You are doing great and like btrieger said, everyone is different. I had hoped to be further along than I am, but I have had complication along the way. I am extremely happy with my loss so far and know I have a lot more to go...enjoy your journey and do not get caught up in the numbers.

Nope, I think you should have lost about twice that. Just kidding. It's Friday and I'm fixing to leave and just couldn't resist being silly. I think you are doing very well. Have a great weekend.

Wow, thanks for all of the encouragement. I find that when I count calories, I have an easier time with dropping weight. I've begun to use a cool app on my itouch and it's actually fun!! Also, I'm proud that I can sit down and remember EVERYTHING I ate in one day, down to coffee and mustard...

You're right. Exercise is hard! I know many people on here start exercising immediately, but I didn't. I didn't start until I was 11 months out and had lost nearly 100 lbs. This worked well for me and I've kept up my exercise ever since. The whole gym thing is so much easier when you've lost some weight. You'll get started at some point and you will feel great doing it!

Congratulations on your success!

Cindy

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
