The best way to lose that amount is to start now. Don't wait for your op

THIS!! YES!! I started at 330 in June 2018. I was 283 when I had VSG on 11/6/18 and I'm 235 now, exactly 4 months post-op. I'm 5lbs away from being down 100lbs since June 2018. So start NOW, lose as much as possible beforehand. Everyone loses at a different rate afterwards.

Yes! I am 5 months out and 109lbs down. The pre-op really helped jump start my weight-loss. I lost a good 24 pounds right before surgery and got used to having only liquids before I had to do the real thing. Anything is possible, but all of our bodies are different. Stay positive and focused and you'll do great! I even take selfies now and am obnoxious about it (LOL) because it's exciting to get all that weight off!

Yep, totally possible. I only lost 90 in six months, but that may because I lost a considerable amount during the pre-op( 30 pounds right before, 74 overall). Either way, you can do it!

You guys are really inspiring.
I worried I won’t be able to hit 100 lost in even 12 months.
I’m 5’7” and started pre-op at 259. Because of my height and insurance requirements, I was told not to lose under 250 or they wouldn’t pay so I had to “maintain” in the low 250’s for 4 months.
Therefore I didn’t have much loss before surgery, but as soon as I was cleared I started low carb, then liquid diet and lost down to 246 on surgery day.
Today I am 29 days post-op and I’m down to 219, but I’ve only lost 2 pounds in the last 17 days.
Not technically a stall, since I’ve lost 2 pounds, but compared to before it’s going sloooooooow

I’m worried that since I’ve lost only 25 pounds in the first month, It will slow down and I’ll never hit my goal weight of 155, which I was hoping to reach in 8 months (my bday is in October and I would LOVE to give that to myself as a bday present)

Whether or not this happens, I’m sticking to this new lifestyle and committed to being the best me that my body allows me to be

2.5 years post op, I’m down 350?lbs. keep finding new ways to get your Protein intake. Pre made shakes and powders get nasty and boring after so long. I used to take salted caramel Protein Powder and mix it into warm Peanut Butter and let it cool. Adds another good Chunk of Protein to Peanut Butter. Finding little ways like that to get the extra protein.

Had surgery 8/1/18....highest weight was 238#....I'm 7 months out now and am at 145#! Feels fantastic, but I still have 15# to get to my goal. Losing is slower now so I'm adding weight training to my cardio. My desire is to be at or exceed my goal by the 1 yr anniversary. Oh...and I'm 65 yrs young! ;-)

I lost over 200 lbs in 8 months. I was 489 when I started though. Pretty unrealistic for anyone under 400 to expect those results.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
