What are or were some of your numbers 5 months out? Trying to see if I am on pace or losing too slow.

Is ten lbs a month pretty standard? I am pre-op and keep wondering how fast the weight will come off. Why do some people lose faster than others? Is it all based on diet and exercise?

I've heard the heavier you are the faster you lose. Not a scientific fact, but it seems this way...

I couldn't believe it when I did the math but I am just about 100 lbs overweight. I look at the scale and just can't believe its this bad. When did this happen lol? So I see my surgeon for the first time on the 12th of February. I have already seen the dietician and exercise specialist. I just want to get the ball rolling!

I was 5 months post op 1-21-13, a few days ago. I have lost a total of 66 lbs, 10 lbs of that was pre op. Some lose faster, some slower. In answer to gonnabeaskinny's question....10 lbs a month each month would be awesome but as you can see for me it's not been that way. I lost 22 lbs the first month, 12 lbs the 2nd month, 9 lbs the 3rd month, 9 lbs the 4th month and now 4 lbs the 5th month. It slowed down for me. Each person is different, depending on metabolism. I am thankful to keep losing, regardless for sure!!

Thanx!! My personal goal is 132 lbs, I am 5'5" but would honestly be ok with 135-145 lbs. I just wanted around 130 lbs to stay a bit under in case I gained some back. I started at 249 lbs so that is 117 lbs total to lose if I lose it all!!

Thanx, and you'll do great as well, just remember you'll get to your goal, even though we have stalls (I'm in one now for the past 3 weeks) where you won't lose a pound. But, in the end it will all be SO worth it!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
