As of my last weighing I am down 111lbs. Next Tuesday I will be eight months post op. My goal has always been to lose 150lbs by twelve months post op. That means I have a little over a four months to lose 39lbs. I think that I can make it. I understand based on what my dietitian has told me and what I read online that some bariatric patients do not even get to a normal BMI. I am not sure what the numbers are in that regards, but what does that have to do with me. I have lost 74% of my excess body weight. I have heard that once a bariatric patient losses 50% of their body weight they are a success. What that means is that I am already a success as far as they are concerned. I will be at 150lbs or close thereof by the end the year (I had surgery last December). If you have the same conviction about write me a comment.

Just watch and see...

Well done and Congratulations! Awesome result!

I am 1Ib away from being a sleeve success. I lost 60Ibs 5 months post op.

Well, my revised goal is another 22Ibs down, and my stretch goal is 33Ibs away.

I most certainly don't want to stop at my current weight.

I want to keep losing until I reach my goal, then maintain it.

My motivation is like yours, so I wish you all the best! We can do it :)

I'm with you too! My husband and I are bikers and he had Patches made for our vests from Philippians 4:13 "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me..."

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
