Any Goal Weight Twins? 65Lbs To Lose, How Long Did It Take You?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

So, i guess this is the best place to post this question. I am currently 97kg and want to get down to 67kg. So, with 66lbs to get rid of and the surgery expected to take place early January, I am hoping by July 2014 that this will all be gone or I will be very close to goal. Question is, how long did it take you?? I know everyones journey is different and each body reacts in a different way; however with a 30kg journey ahead of me, I am really curious to know on average how long you think it will take to reach my goal weight?! The fact it is coming off, is a good enough blessing but would be awesome to know how long it took some of you? I am looking forward so much to writing my before + after post!

Thanks!

no answer to your question....a lot is based on persons weight to lose (heavier people can lose more faster/quicker)

and it also boils down to a persons compliance (eating/exercising).......its not a race and if you say i want to lose this amount by this time and you dont, you may be disappointed.....but hey, you can do whatever you set your mind to..it is doable........so if you want it, do it.............wishing you all the best .........happy holidays

I was 98 kg, banded 29 October 2013, with 2 pre op high Protein diet. As of today, 8 December, I've lost 12 kilos. I have 3cc fill from surgery. First postop fill tomorrow which surgeon says will most likely be to 5cc.

I've had a few fluctuations lately.

Had lost almost 14 at one stage.

Eating 800-1200 cals a day.

Hope this helps.

Unless you're a marathon runner or super athlete, it's nearly impossible to lose more than 10 lbs of fat per month. Most lose around 4-8 lbs per month. There are exceptions though.

I lost 50 lbs the first 7 months.

Restriction doesnot begin right out of surgery.

Once the swelling and irritation subsides the hunger returns & u'll be able to eat anything just as before the band.

Expect 3-6 months of adjustments. Adjustments will get u to the restriction necessary to see the scale move.

Any loss during your journey to finding the "green zone" will depend upon your own dieting and exercise routine.

So in the end your weightloss begins w/your very own discipline until your bands Fluid have been increased enough to cause you to eat less and feel fuller longer.

If it isnt too late, I'd say get the sleeve, restriction begins right outta surgery & this will save you 3-6 months if time is your greatest issue.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

I completely appreciate its not a race and takes time to really get to where you need to be. The reason I asked was purely just to see how others whom started from a similar position lost their weight and where they are at post-op. Not sure about a sleeve it feels far more drastic and I like that the band is adjustable.

If you could have a crystal ball to see what it would be like that would be amazing haha. In the mean time, I guess I can only ask how others have done on their journey.

Thanks though :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
