Hello everyone, how much pounds have you guys lost and how far out?

I am 6.5 months out and have lost 100 lbs. I have 46 more pounds to go, which I hope to reach by December 1 of this year at the latest. I am really focused on having my brachioplasty end of November or December, so I sincerely hope I can do this.

That's great I need to lose 130/140 and some of these ppl are doing that in like 6-9 months I'll be happy to follow that giving myself 12 months

Mikey,

Seems like men always lose weight faster than we women do.

Great goal time frame.

Have a great day.

WTG and I agree with Mikey very impressive.

Good luck with your journey,

Results and rates of weight loss are different for each of us. Don’t get hung up on stats. It’s the fact you are losing weight not the rate.

114 pounds in six months. Pre sleeve surgery 254 (I count my pre op weight loss) to 140 pounds. My weight loss was faster than the statistics for sleeve surgery. I went on to 125 pounds I’m almost five years out.. I maintain in the 130's

this is so true dont compare to everyone else do this at your speed and reach those mini goals thats how i did it so far

Almost a year out. 85 pounds.

Congrats to everyone! ?

I’m presurgery and I’m having 2nd thoughts about sleeve vs roux en y... thoughts ?

@jennigurl23 it depends on a few things, your BMI how much weight you need to lose? But most will tell you the RNY is more effective, more restrictive, it changes your metabolism and your internal gastric system...

Most studies will show RNY better overall loss and better management of type 2diabetes... But you will need to be on more vitamins than sleeve.. but it also helps with reflux or gerd...
