Congrats, I'm concerned cause it's not coming off fast enough for me. It's been 8 weeks and 50 lbs but when I look in the mirrors I see the exact same body before surgery. I congratulate you it gives me motivation

50 pounds in 8 weeks! That is amazing! I am sad you can't see the difference- which I am sure is a huge difference

I am 14 weeks out and have only lost like 45!

Hi everyone!

Well as of 11.9.16 (just under 8 months post WLS) I hit my goal weight. SW: 256 CW: 166. I have not been this weight since I was 23 years old. I think that I will have a better body and health at the age of 40 than I was a 21.

How long has it taken some of you to hit your goal weight? Has anyone been told by those around you that you have lost weight too fast?

I just had to share the news with everyone here. I know that everyone would understand my excitement unlike those in my life that have not had the surgery!

I felt the same way, try taking pics every 10 lbs. It doesn't seem like a difference until you look at the pics

I take pics every 3 months (well special milestone pics) and it's great seeing the difference. I only weigh myself at doctors appointments.

It took me a year to lose to my goal of 150 (85 pounds. Slow, I know), but I continued to lose for several months after that. Don't be surprised when you do, too. As long as you're within a healthy range, lose as much as your body let's you!

I reached goal at about 7 months (from 219 HW/185 SW to 125). I was told by several people (including one nurse in surgeons office) that I was losing weight too fast. However I think that a lot of people lose at this pace if they follow the rules.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
