My surgery was May 20, 2016. Lost 46. I am getting discouraged because I see many of you have lost way more:( I think I should have lost at least 60 pounds.

My high weight was 237. Surgery weight 232. Current weight 191.

That's 41 pounds in 3 months....stop comparing yourself to others and embrace your success! You are doing fabulous!!!! Take pride in your accomplishment and enjoy the journey instead of only looking at the destination. Sometimes the journey is the best part! You will get there, you don't have to be there on a specific date as long as you get there.

I think you are doing great and that you are on a great path! 46lbs in a little over 3 months is great. And just think we have not even made it to 6 months yet let alone 1 yr. A lot of times I become very impatient and I wanna lose my weight right now. And then I realize that I haven't even made it to 6 months yet and I'm like wow or I look at a picture and look at my progress so far and i'm man it really is working. Keep doing what you are doing because you look great! Also your starting weight in my opinion is on the smaller side and it seems like from what I've seen on here that because you don't have an awful lot to lose (like myself) that it tends to be a little slower but that it does come off. So again I think you are doing great it sure looks like it.

Don't get discouraged, I'm the same I have stalled, but I'm grateful to have lost what I have so far! Keep on track, stay focused you will get there.

I would have to say that's great! As you can see it's not all about the number of pounds lost in such-and-such amount of time. It's about feeling better, being healthier, and all those rewarding personal milestones we reach along the way. Things like fitting into a size you haven't worn in years, being more comfortable on an airplane, enjoying a vacation, actually doing something with family or friends instead of just watching, painting your own toes, wearing a bathing suit, losing the back-boobs, saying goodbye to plus size departments and hello to attractive clothes, having more confidence, liking yourself again, looking forward to the future, feeling joy, having hope, and on and on... :-)

went for my 4 month check up, have lost 72lbs since surgery and 82 lbs since April. Iron level was low, so I will start taking some iron pills. fill great, sleep great, get a little sick every now and then, but learning hoe to control it. hope to lose about 40-50 lbs.

My surgery date was May 8, so I am at the 5-month mark. I've lost 71 pounds, but I've had some problems occasionally. I got discouraged, slowed down, sped up, and so on. I feel better, but I know I need to work out more to get rid of the saggy skin! I've been trying to just keep in mind that I didn't put the weight on in one day; it is okay if it takes time for it to come off sometimes. (Yes, even going in the fast lane!)
