I'm six months out from surgery. Surgery date was 1-7-13. Starting weight was 392lbs. Height 6ft 1in. Current weight is now 264lbs, for a total loss of 128lbs in 6 months. I have roughly 24 more lbs to lose to be at my goal.

Awesome! Congrats!

Awesome! Congrats!

Thank you

Wow! Congratulations!

That's Great. Congrats!! I'm getting mine done on 7-17 and excited. I need to loose 150lbs to get to my ideal weight. I do need to ask...how did you loose so fast? Did you workout? What foods did you stick with? I'd love to have the same success as you in 6 months. But know women loose slower. But id be happy loosing close to what you've lost )

It does seem guys lose faster. Plus I had a lot to lose. Soon as I was cleared to be in the gym I was there 4-5 days a week. I got cleared after 4 weeks. I started off doing cardio then gradually began lifting with very very low weights and high reps. I made sure I got in my Protein. Make sure you get your protein in through food sources rather then via drinks. At first you'll most likely only be able to get in enough protein through drinks and such. Follow the doctors orders to the T. Bottom line is you have to want it more than me or the next guy/girl. Give 110% with this lifestyle change. Feel free to ask any other questions. Good luck

Wow congrats .. Keep up the good work I'm also 6 months out down 99 pounds in 6 months and 15 pounds to goal .. We will get there and I bet you feel good cuz I do

Thank you so much for the tips Keep up with the post. You and everyone on here amaze me with the wonderful results. Excited to see mine and def will post to share. thanks again

Way to go!!! I'm 5 1/2 months out, and not far from my doctors goal weight! Feels great! Highest weight 197, Surgery day 188, Today(7-13-13) 138 5'1'' petite frame, Surgery on 1-30-13

I am also about 6 months out and have lost about 40 lbs since surgery. Seems slow, but I am happy with the gradual loss actually. I had a RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) test done and found that for my body, the amount of calories I would burn in a day is 1260. This is quite low, even the doc said some people are just made that way. Anyways, not a justification, but good to know that sometimes you're battling nature too.

I am doing well, I avg about 900 cal a day and I exercise regularly. I must admit I am totally not eating healthy. I just eat what I want, but much less. Snacking has been an issue, but I still lose 1-2 lbs a week. Anyways, Hope it continues. I am sooo happy with this surgery and would NEVER want to go back to the way I was.
