I was going over info from my Education Class and was calculating what my 60% EWL will be. Yeah, very discouraging. For those of you 1 or more years out, i was wondering what percentage you're at now? Did you meet or exceed the 60% or have you not met it or gained it back? Thank you

Dont get discouraged! Its up to you how much you lose! That is the "average" amount, some lose a lot more and some lose less. WHo wants to be average right? As long as you stay on the path of eating right, exercising, there is no limit. :-) good luck.

Thank you for your encouraging words! *

92% here. Started out 375 plus - I refused to step on the scale for the last few months so I imagine it was more as my clothes were getting real, real tight. I now weight 204. This figure is based on a target weight of 190 - which is the top end of my BMI.

185 pounds should of been lost, 171 pounds actually lost 171/185 = 92.4

I will never bust through the 200 pound mark unless I take drastic steps in my diet. I already work out 4 to 6 hours a week and eat very little. I LOOK like I weigh less, I've always been blessed that way but it would be nice to dip below 200 for once in my adult life.

I lost all that I was supposed to plus 12 lbs extra. I'm out 3 years now and feel fantastic. Still have tons of restriction but definately can eat more now over a 30 minute sitting. I am up and down between 10 lbs and love it. . . good luck, and like fluffylibra said, don't get discouraged, we all loose at different paces. . . remember slow and steady wins the race!

I am at 10 months, maybe done losing, maybe not..... sitting at 75% now......:-)

I am also 10 months out, sitting at 87%. I am not done losing though. It has slowed the last two months but I have been to relaxed with carbs. I am going to tighten back up on that and see if I cant get this last 13 pounds off!

I am 17 months post-op, lost 100% of excess weight plus 23 lbs more. I'm 5'8" and a size 6! I still can't believe it--

It gets harder in the later months as you start to crave more variety in your foods, but stick to Protein first and limit the junk food and you'll get there!

Thank you, everyone, for your input! I'm reading your posts and seeing your current weights and I think that's AMAZING! You are all definitely helping me to stay focused. Thank you!

I am nearly two years out... for my surgeon's goal weight I have lost 88% with a 10-14lbs to go to goal. For my personal goal weight I have lost 74% with a 24-28lb left to go. Not too shabby...lol! But I haven't finished yet! I am determined to get to at least my surgeon's goal one way or another...lol. Like rootman, I don't 'look' my weight, or so I have been told!

Like most others, I have a bounce range that I am happy with.

Good luck with your sleeve journey =]
