How long did it take to lose 100lbs



Recommended Posts

For those of you who have lost that much weight, first of congrats and how long did it take to lose it? 6 months, a year, longer? Taking this day by day can sometimes be overwhelming and I often find myself wishing it were already 6 months later because I can’t wait to get to where I’ll be by then. I started my bypass journey at 304lbs May 21st and I’m now 270lbs

If this question triggers you then walk away and spare me with the don’t compare yourself to others and everyone loses at a diff rate!

@Yo-yo girl Update your weight stats. They don't match with your post.

It looks like we have a similar starting weight, current weight, and goal weight. How tall are you?

I want to and I also want to enter my surgery date and all that stuff but I don’t know how [emoji30]

I’m 5’5 my first goal weight is 250lbs then 200lbs and lastly 150lbs. I’ve broken it down into a few goals because it’s easy to get discouraged looking down from being so far up but the smaller goals are my “way to go, you’re almost there” pat in the back [emoji38] What’s your goal weight?

Go to: PATIENTS (5th heading from your left, on top of screen).

Select MY SURGERY in the pull-down menu.

Select PROGRESS (see squiggly arrow on the left side of your screen).

Enter your new stats.

It took me six months from my surgery date, which was my personal goal. I was heavier than you but am a slower loser. Slow, but consistent.

I wouldn't say 100lb in six months was slow, that's an average of nearly 17lb per month.

My surgery weight was 369. It’s all relative. It’s slower than many people with that starting weight. But I’m fine with my progress.

That’s pretty good.. congrats! Considering the scale has never been so generous to us before.

About 6.5 months I should hit it at my 'official weekly weigh in' Tuesday. Would have been about a month sooner, but I have increased calories a lot as I exercise and that slowed things a little. I had the sleeve so a bypass likely would be quicker

I see that you followed up and entered your current stats. Keep updating them, as the Current Weight and Weight Lost lines can be inspiring... I know they are for me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
