I would say that is a great accomplishment! 61 lbs is a great loss...everyone is different and will lose differently....but you wouldnt have lost that if you hadnt made the choice for surgery....CONGRATS

If you were me- looking at you- you would think 61 lbs since Jan was so freakin' awesome.

When it's yourself going through it you think it isn't going fast enough, but it is.

Congratulations- just keep doing what you are suppossed to.

People that start off at a higher bmi are going to lose at a much higher rate because their daily caloric deficit is going to be much higher at first.

I started at a bmi of 38 on December 28. I'm now nearly five months in and I've lost 50 pounds and my bmi is 31. So losing more than 7 points of bmi in five months I'm very happy with that... As long as I keep losing...

When people talk about how much weight they've lost over a specific time frame, that number can only make sense if you know their starting BMI

You are not a slow loser you are doing great. I truly am a slow loser it took me 6 months to lose 28 Kg I am still within normal range according to my doctor but slower than a lot of people here on the forum. I am 10 Kg away from normal BMI.

I wanted to add my starting bmi was 39.9 and it is now 28.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
