Just wondering if it is possible to lose this much, and if so, how long did it take you?

I know everyone is different. Just looking to hear some different stories

I have lost 100 pounds and I will be 8 months post op tomorrow. I expect to lose the remainder of my weight (approximately 70 pounds) by the end of the year.

i lost 125 and I'm 6 1/2 months out ...

I agree with other posters ... you have to listen to the doc & nut ... they do this for a living ... they will never try to steer you wrong ...

this forum is a WONDERFUL sounding board ... and you'll get great tips/tricks/ideas and advice on here ...

I am very thankful to have it!

I am a little over a month post op. A little under 2 months since the whole shebang started (the preop diet) and I am down 41 lbs. I expect to hit my goal of 59 more lbs by the end of this year at the latest and at least 3/4 of my weight goal by my wedding in October. That 41 lbs is without excercising. I can't work out right now due to medical problems I'm having post neck surgery I had in October. I have faith that anyone who wants to lose their goal can do it ! Good luck with everything ❤️❤️

Absolutely possible if you use it as the tool it is meant to be and follow the program (and see a therapist if you can). I lost 15 pounds in 3 months supervised diet. 12 pounds on 1 week per-op liquid diet. And 92 pounds since surgery 7 1/2 months ago. So I am down 119. Another 20 or 30 to go.

I was sleeved April 20 and have lost over 170 from my highest weight. I still have a good ways to go but losing this much has been a true miracle.

Lost over a 150 lbs in 8 months.

Yup. I am at 120lbs lost (total pre & post-op) and am not quite 9 months post-op. Everyone is different & I firmly believe that it depends on not only your body, but also where you start.

I am currently at a loss of 135. 20 in the 3 months before surgery and 115 since surgery (Friday is my 10 month anniversary from Surgery). I am still losing about 1 -1.5 pounds per week. I eat 900 calories a day, 80-90 grams of Protein, 96 oz of Water and exercise at least 60 minutes a day. Some days it's just walking, some bike some heavy gym cardio.

you can do it... I have 35 more to go to goal!!!

I'm a week shy of six months since surgery and have lost 112 pounds. Stick to the program outlined by your doctor (protein, water, exercise) and you will see results. Don't obsess about the numbers - you will stall, move up and down - and if you expect a linear, steady drop, you'll go nuts (I speak from experience here). Good luck!

I was sleeved 11/10/15 and lost 80lbs preop and in total now since surgery 118lbs. Totally possible just follow the plan!

I have lost 152 and March will be 1 year for me. I want about 18 more lbs!

Thanks for the answers everyone! Very inspiring my goal is to lose about 140lbs so I was hoping this is possible!

I didn't lose a lot on pre-op. Less than 10lbs mainly because it was like 100 degrees with 110% humidity when I was on it and I was retaining a ton of water. I am 6.3 months out and down 93 pounds. Hoping to lose another 70ish pounds before 1 year mark.

I have now lost 100 pounds since my first surgeon meeting. I didn't expect to lose this much. It has taken 19.5 months. The last 15 pounds took 6 months.

I now weigh 135 pounds and am holding steady here.

Obviously, I haven't been what the newbies think of as a fast loser. But it was absolutely fast enough for me. It doesn't matter one whit how fast you lose, but that you lose and regain control of your eating and your health.
