What is your current weight and what is your goal weight? The more you have to lose the more will come off in the beginning. I read somewhere on average you will lose 10lbs a month. But, in the beginning, if you have a lot to lose you could easily lose 30lbs in the first month.

My guess is that you will lose at least 50 lbs, which is probably about 4-5 sizes. So, if you are a 16 order a 12, then they can take it in. It is easier to take it in then add to it.

I agree, it's easier to take in then take out, depending on the dress, just factor in the charge for an alteration,which can up to another $100. go with the size you are in May or maybe go down 1 size from then, You don't want to add anymore pressure on yourself.

I love weddings

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
