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 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:)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
