Thanks for starting the group.

I'm 3 months post op I'm down 39 pounds!

I do feel like out height weight ratio has a lot of factors.

Taller people at my weight would be considered thin. Lol!!!

So glad to read your post. I'm 3 months out and have seen a few stalls. I know it's normal but since surgery I've lost 42 pounds. I think it's a little slow and my Doctor said its a little less than expected but he always just says you were a smaller Bariatric patient (surgery date 215) your weight may be slower.

I'm so glad to read that there is hope that this weight will still drop. My highest weight was 241 January of this year.

Don't lose hope! 42lbs is great! I know I hit stalls on the way. As much as it is discouraging, your body is adjusting and losing inches. Try taking measurements and comparing. You are doing great and don't worry, you'll get there!

I agree ! Measurements have kept me sane during moments of insanity. I even have an app called weight tracker that I log my measurements and weight in once a week. Even if the weight doesn't fall off it shows you percentages that drop everytime regardless.

I need to use that app. I've been in a weight stall for over 2 months close to 3 ... but I think still shrinking sizes bc my clothes are def looser. I have 15-20 left to lose so I'm SURE this will be hardest. Going to start exercising and drinking more Water for my New Years Resolution! LOL. 5'1 started at 205 highest 215. Now 147 right now my skin in certain areas is loose and crinkly but I hope this improves with time and exercise!

I'm 5'1 and 4 mths post op as of the 24th of dec! I started out at 240 the day of surgery I was 217 and now I am 163 and loving it!!
