I was 8 months post OP on the 17th. I hit onderland, and the photo i attached is exactly one year apart. My husband puts his truck in a truck show every year. The weight loss really didn't stand out to me until i compared these side by side. Amazing! Worth every moment!

Are you losing on a steady basis? I am 5 mos out, nervous i will stop losing at 6 mos since first 6 is so "critical". How many calories do you intake daily. Great job!

5 months - 50 lbs down???

you are doing great :)

never compare yourself to others weight - don't you dare!!!! :)

you will not stop losing at 6 months - or even slow down

just keep up the good job with your Protein first, watching your carbs - small portions, chewing and eating very slowly

continue to drink your Water, not drink when you are not supposed to

do everything your wise mind tells you to do!!!!

keep up the good job/work :)

congrats on your weight loss

take care

I have stalled along the way. I felt defeated at 5 months...stalled forever! Just remember this is a lifestyle change, and a commitment. You will get there! I don't really track calories, if i need to snack its nuts or beef Jerky. For 8 months out i feel i should be at the 100lb mark post OP, but I'm not and that's ok, but i will be soon (hopefully). My surgeons office told me you will continue to lose for your 1st year, hope this helps!....does anyone else get "hangry" grumpy when hungry as well?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
