Hi all.

Surgery soon. 88 lbs to lose. Been trying to find an idea of how much weight I can expect to lose, so that I have something to aim for, but the numbers I read are vastly different ?? Ideas please. Or is there a rough formula that i can use that might help.

Anyways thanks in advance

It's up to you. Did you try the BMI? I did & it put me at 125 for 5 foot so that's what my goal is.

The BMI only says what I should be. Not really what I asked but thanx anyway.

Would be nice to know what others lost in their first couple of months, or so.

If you put in BMI it tells you the weight in number form for your height etc. I am at 4 months tomorrow and have lost almost 70 pounds. I started at 261 and am 5'5". My goal is 145,which was 116 pounds to lose and dr said it a reasonable goal. It falls at the top range of the healthy BMI. Keep in mind the less you have to lose the slower it might come off. But in a year at longest you should meet your goal. What is your height? What is your current weight and goal?

I am 5'10

I am at 286 now

And i would like to be 200

So obviously 86 ish gives me where I would like to be

Then the next obvious question is when I get to my weight goal. Can the restriction be removed or deflated or something ?? Wouldn't want to waste away to just skin, bones and sperm

I wonder that when I reach my goal do I stay or do I keep slimming down.
