My surgeon has a chart of where we should be at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year post op. It’s based on your total excess weight. I have been told that the first 6 months are the most crucial. Whatever you lose in those 6 months, you will lose 50% of that in months 7-12. All that being said, stick to your diet and keep the faith and you will succeed!

You’re losing over 12 pounds a month. I think that’s incredible! Just keep doing what you’re doing! Consider, at your current pace you’ll be in the 200s in 3.5 months. That’s amazing. Keep your eyes

on the prize and don’t second guess yourself.

I agree. You sound like you're doing great. Keep it up!

Thanks, I appreciate your replies I guess I just needed to hear that from somebody

I feel like my weight loss has been slower than a few other people who were sleeved around the same time as I and I know we shouldn’t compare ourselves sometimes it’s hard not too but I also like the sit back and think about the last time I lost 40kg in 6 months.. umm never! We need to remember just how far we’ve come. You’re doing great.. keep it up

When I crunch the numbers with a calculator it looks good! You're roughly 13 pounds a month. The average through diet and exercise alone is maybe 6-8.

Ultimately, the best gauge is how well you're sticking to your program. If you're doing the best you can...the weight will come off when it's ready to. Sometimes it comes off faster, sometimes slower. There are a lot of biological factors that work both for and against us.

If you're feeling good, have healthy habits, are building a good forever diet and getting exercise....the weight will come off.

Sounds to me like you're doing great. Be patient and consistent:)
