Wo really? I think that's amazing and you should remove the only.

You can't compare yourself to others.

I hope in 6 months I can say I've lost 60 pounds

I try to walk every day and am 10 days post op.

I started puréed this week and needle has not moved. I expected this. Just a little sad though

Hope I am at 60 by 6 months

60 pounds is quite an achievement! If you are concerned you are eating too much, log and weight what you do eat and see if it totals what has been recommended by your NUT. Exercise will also help.

First, 60 lbs is amazing regardless of how long it took to lose it. Second, eating a few bites every hour could lead to overeating. I suggest using a calorie tracker (myfitnesspal). And, exercise. Everyday. Start with walking and then find something else you enjoy- swimming, hiking, running, cycling, fitness classes, etc. You're going to have to make some changes if you want the weight to keep dropping. The surgery has done it's job if you've lost 60lbs and only eat a few bites at a time, but now you need to do your part.

Wow ! 60 lbs., that is great !!!!!!!! Don't be hard on yourself and congrats. Exercise is key, try to walk briskly every day, if not, do every other day. Walking saves me, and has so many benefits. You will see the scales move with additional exercise of any kind..... Good luck.

I am 10 months out and I have lost 82 pounds...so, not much more than you! It's just a process. I will hopefully be very close to goal by my 1 year surgiversary and hopefully you will be to. I just have to remind myself that it's a marathon and not a sprint and everyday you get closer to the new person that you're going to become! Good luck!

60 lbs in 6 months is 10 lbs a month so about 2.5 lbs a week. That's not bad at all. I would try not to compare yourself to other people, and just know that (in a very, very short period of time) you will reach goal and look great.

60 lbs! That's 10 lbs a month. In all my years of dieting and with weight watchers I never managed that consistency. Our sleeves our doing their job as a tool to help us lose the weight at a healthy rate. You are rockin' this. Keep up the great work

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
