I am three months post op today.. I have lost a total of 29 pounds WHOOHOO! I started out at 198 and am 5 foot 3.

I was wondering if anyone else who had a similar starting bmi (35) as myself and is 3 months out could post their progress. I realize we all lose at different rates, but I just wanted to compare. I am not complaining about slow weight loss because I wouldn't have lost this much weight had I been on a diet. Some people are all upset and freaked out because they ONLY lose 4 pounds a week and I'm baffled by that. That seems extremely fast..lol

Anyways.. if you started out with a BMI of around 35 could you please let me know how you were doing weight loss wise at 3 months out.. thanks

I am three months and one week out. Have lost about 65 pounds since first doctor's visit. I am 6' 1 '' tall and started at 277, so I imagine that I burn more calories during a normal day. I also take an antidepressant (Wellbuton) and a stimulant for focusing. I think that both of these curb my appetite and thus my food intake. I don't exercise at all really and eat when I feel the need, I just don't eat meals. I also drink whiskey and wine and partake of chocolate and cookies.I am probably a perfect example of what NOT to do, but still the thing works!

I am 3 months out today. I am 5'4 and I started out at 245 lbs. I was 225 the day of my surgery (8/8/11). Now, I am 188.

I started with a BMI kind of close to yours- 38, and was sleeved almost 3 months ago. I'm between 5'4" and 5'5". I weighed 221.75 lbs the day of surgery, and now weigh 183.2. That gives me a loss of 38.5 lbs post-op.

I started at sleeve at 235, now starting 4th month at about 190. Sort of leveled off about a month ago, hovering between 190 to 193 for last few weeks.

Today is officially 4 mos for me, I was in a terrible stall for the entire month of october ..no weight loss. This month I decided to change some things such as working out, in which I didn't do before and upped my Water intake and carbs for energy...the finally result ...I lost 10 lbs so far from nov 1 - today. July 12, 2011 was my surgery day and I weighed 227 lbs 5'4 ft now I'm 165 lbs. You need to change up to get your body losing again. My trainer helped me to understand this...you need more carbs, water and Protein while working out or else your body will think you are starving it.
