JUST CURIOUS....6 months out!



Recommended Posts

I'm JUST Curious how much weight have you lost 6 months after surgery?? I promise you I'm NOT comparing myself to anyone just wondering ? I KNOW EVERYONE losing weight differently!!! LOL I will be honest and say my FAMILY....HUSBAND and DAUGHTER think it should COME OFF FASTER!!! I keep telling them I'm DOING just fine!!! YES I'm a SLOW loser but I'm OK with that!!!! I just thought I would tell them to....well I won't put what I REALLY WANT to tell them! LOL

Hi Hope, well I don't remember the exact numbers but what I recall is that at 6 months out I was down around 65 Lbs. I am very happy with my successes so far... and you are welcome to show them my progress.

I need to lose 25 more to goal!!!

Hugs!!! :)

Thanks Tiffy, I actually chose my goal weight and I wasnt greedy about it. I wanna settlle for 150 pounds, I know I might be a 20-25 pounds heavier than what the bmi chart suggest but I think I will be happy at this range

so by your equation I am supposedly lost 35% of my excess weight in 2 month which is phenomenal to me.

but if I am applying the equation to since I was banded I think it will brings my total loss to 101%

This thread has made me feel so much better. I posted earlier that I'm frustrated because I've lost 20 pounds in the one month since my surgery, but nothing in over a week . . . it's so helpful to know that this "pattern" is seen by others, and that we all lose weight at different speeds. Thank you all!!

I was totally content at 150lbs which is what my surgeon said was best. I feel there are parts of me that are too thin, and it's just weird now. It's a mental thing, and I know that I'll have to deal with the final outcome.

I will be 6 months out on June 28 and I have lost somewhere around 75lbs. HOWEVER, I had slowed down considerably and my doc prescribed something to help the weight come off. I have been on it for a month and let'sjust say it definitely works. So... yeah, I kind of feel like I am "cheating" but I'm just glad the weight is still coming off!

I also think that your success is determined a lot by how closely you stick to plan. I know that I do not follow it to a tee and thus, my weightloss had slowed down. Also, exercise and Water are key!

I shouldn't but I do compare myself to others, I really wished I lost all my weight in the first 6 months. I'm almost 8 months and lost 73 pounds with 52 pounds to go. I just worry that I'll stop losing.

Reading everyones replies we should all be so proud of ourselves no matter how fast or slow we loss.

I'm almost 6 months out. I've lost 50 lbs but as u can see that brings me to my goal. Life is a little harder at goal. I think about the gym less and mcdonalds more.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
