You are down 60 lbs in 5 months. That is still over 12 lbs per month on average. All people lose weight at different rates and it sounds like you are still doing great!

Everyone is different, and will lose at different rates of time. It sounds like your doing great so far. I wouldn't worry too much. Just give it time.

I'd only lost 63.8 lbs by five months out, and I started out heavier than you.

there are so many factors that affect your rate of weight loss - gender, age, metabolic level, starting BMI, whether or not you lost a lot of weight before surgery, activity level, how committed you are to your eating plan, etc etc etc. The only two factors you have much control over are your activity level and how committed you are to your surgeon's eating plan. If you're doing well with those two things, and your overall weight trend is down, you're good. In the end, it's your level of commitment that determines your ultimate success, not your rate of weight loss.

I am 1 year out and have lost 53 pounds.....

Do not stress about it.

Everyone moves differently.

Be mindful on your eating.

It will happen before you know it and bam

Best of Luck on YOUR journey

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
