I'm interested in seeing how people did 2 months out in terms of weightloss. Before anyone says so, I'm not comparing myself I'm just a curious person, and this is all new to me and I like seeing all the varying differences.

Well, I had been loosing more prior to surgery. Granted my body needed to loose more then. I lost 75lbs so far, only 15 of that is post off though. I guess if I continue to loose that over 8-9 months I may hit my goal. Its frustrating seeing ppl who lost 30-45 pounds in a month, or 100 in 3 mo. I just feel as if I am failing, I guess I need to stop comparing my lost to others. Which is the hardest to do right now.

You weigh 200 pounds though, you aren't going to lose 30-40 pounds the first month after surgery.

Most of the people that do lose that much in the first month are men, or they had issues with getting fluids, protein in.

I was 358 on day of surgery and I "only" lost 21 pounds my first month. And I didn't diet pre-op either, besides the surgery liquid diet and I "only" lost 7 pounds on it in 10 days.

I may have lost more the first month because I did not have to do the pre-op liquid diet. I only lost 14 pounds in the 6 months of supervised diet needed for my insurance. So my body wasn't in shock already from two weeks of living on liquids.

Sigh. I may not be the best motivator, but don't give up. I'm trying to stay motivated myself. I just keep saying that I didn't alter my body to give up.
