How much weight can I get rid off in 3 months

[Fair2bslimLady 72]

My sleeve date is Jan 28 and that's great Im happy but my college graduation is in May and I want to look great for pic's and family, I dont have any nice pic's of me and I would love to finally be happy to look great and order my cap and gown a smaller size. Just wanted some feed back on how much weight I can get rid off, I know everyone is different but just need to feel some hope......

Im about 245 now and Im working on getting some weight off before the sleeve date.

It varies with every person but I would say 36 pounds (12 pounds per month) is realistic. Good Luck and congrats on your college graduation! Graduating from college is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself (and the sleeve of course too!)

I lost 50 lbs in the first 3 months. I started at 300 and I am 6ft tall. I'm 4.5 months out now and down 73 lbs. Good luck to you.

Congrats on your sleeve and double congrats on your Graduation! I'm not sleeve yet,

But im adding Protein Shakes now so i could get weight loss before the sleeve as an option. Discuss with your Nut for a diet menu pre op. Try using fitness Pal for added support. The pre op diet should help.

good luck!

I agree with UTGal 99.....i just made 3 months on dec 17 ....and i am down 42 .. so 35-40 is a good approx , i started at 231

I would say 40 to 50 lbs but if you are really motivated to meet a goal at graduation, get started now! Okay, get started after the holidays... Everyone wants that last meal but believe me, at seven months out, I can eat anything and everything I ate before but less of it. There is no need for a last meal. I wish someone would have told me that because the weight is coming off a lot slower now and if I had worked harder pre surgery, I would be that much further along now. I'm happy with my loss but still anxious to make my goal.

I would say that sounds about right keep in mind stalls but with preop and the the sleeve 40 to 50 sound about right

I agree too 40-50 pounds stick to your diet porgression post op, eat low carb and drink your Water. You will do great!! Good Luck!

That's so great to hear! I'm also getting surgery on Jan 28th. I have a family wedding in may, which is the first time I'll be seeing most of my family after surgery, so I've been curious about the same thing-thanks for all the feedback!
