I had surgery on 9/10 and was 182 lbs. Today I am 144 lbs. That is about 2,5 lbs per week.

Because I know that the weight loss will slow down - I am hoping to get to goal by the end of March.

I am 5'3 and have an apple shape.

33bmi start - lost all my weight in 5 months - my goal in 6 months for a 22 bmi.

How? I was a vigilante on the carbs. Yes, I agree, they are the devil. Read a post pre-op from another VST lady who kept her carbs to below 30gm a day until hitting goal. She went into ketosis and stayed there. Since I was a self pay for this surgery in the US (big $$$$$) no way was I going to fail again.

So, cut out the crap. Be serious about this and as Nancy Reagan said...Just say NO until you hit goal. You will be thrilled with the results. The less sugar you eat the less your body craves it. Geez, I need to take my own advice, :)

PS - now that I have let carbs and crud back into my diet, I have regained almost 10 lbs from my lowest. Still under surgeons goal but I struggle. My hunger is back....

DOS 209, 2 weeks shy of 6 months I am 141. I am 5'4" tall. My original goal was 145 (normal BMI) but I want to get to 135 now.

For 100% EBW my doctor had me at 142, but I still see excess. Haha

I agree. I feel a ton better but some of the old problems/habits still exist. The TOM still makes me crazy and all I want is junk!

This TOM guy sounds like a real jerk! You should dump him!

Alright - does anyone remember how long post op they actually started losing? I am offically 8 days post op - and at 6 days post op I finally got to my DOS weight... because of the added pounds due to fluids, etc from hospital stay... since day 6 I haven't lost anything? Also, no BM since day prior to surg... thoughts?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
