JUST CURIOUS....6 months out!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,280]

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.

I will be at 6 months in 5 days and I've lost 76 pounds! Started at 241 wearing a size 18W and am now at 165 wearing an 8-10. I couldn't be happier!
