Hi all...I'm new, having surgery in 9 days...for those of you that are post op...how many pounds did you lose in the 6 months after surgery?

Thanks!!!

I am not workingvout at all, I have a bad back and theconly exercise I get is walking at work.

My brother lost 200lbs in 6 months but started at 360lbs and was really hard core about it the whole time (incredibly strict approach)

Are you sure???? That's 7 pounds a week!

I work out 7 days a week doing walk to home dvd's. I'm down 82lbs since 2/24

I'm 7.5 weeks post op and have lost 25 lbs.

I'm almost 5 weeks post-op and have lost 40#..

I am 12 1/2 weeks out and I am down 70 pounds, but I have trouble with food.

I'm 320 I need to be 180 please tell me what your brother did. I only need 140 lbs I think it's possible to do within 8 months?

I just hit 6 months. I’ve lost 70lbs

I’m 5 1/2 months out down 64 pounds. Still have 30 to go.

I'm back to walking 6-7days per week/1 hour per day.

I weighed 222.4 on surgery day (Feb. 20, 2018)

At 6 months I'd lost about 58lbs (weighed 164.6lbs) of my 72lbs that I'd set for 1st Goal (1st goal=150lbs).

Now at 12 months (coming in 2 weeks), I'm working on my second goal: 140lbs and today I'm 6.8lbs away from reaching it. I doubt I will pull it off in 2 weeks, but I'm pretty close to being able to call 2nd Goal. I reached first goal on 11/02/18.

Hello new to the page. I had surgery on the 6th of February and I am 7 pds down

Wow! Awesome weight loss everyone! I'm currently debating between bypass and the sleeve, but leaning more towards the bypass. What made you all choose the bypass over the sleeve?

Bypass- better weight loss. Better long term success. One operation which seems everyone is being revised to RNY anyway! Malabsorption to help absorb less calories!!

I startet at 399 pounds. In 6 months I lost 145 pounds an I a year I lost 216 pounds... now I’m stable at 194 pounds for one year
