So i started the pre op diet on April 4th. Surgery April 18th. So far these are my stats 6 weeks post op. Always do my measurements on the 4th of the month. Not bad. Wish it was a little quicker but not bad for 6 weeks post op.

This is an amazing loss. Congratulations. ?

you're losing way faster than I did.

I think a lot of people's expectations are based on shows like "My 600 lb Life". You have to keep in mind that these people start out WAY heavier than the average WLS patient, who typically weighs in the 200s or 300s. So OF COURSE they're going to lose a lot faster than we do.

you are doing great!

took me 20 months. I started at over 300 lbs.

the key is following the rules and sticking to your program. If you do, you'll get there - whether fast or slow.

Great job. That's incredible. You averaged 7.5 lbs. a week. Even 7.5 lbs. in a month is great to me.

Continued success!

Congrats! I love the idea of a spreadsheet. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE that you can see non-scale victories! (I wish I had had the courage to do that.) You are fierce!

Two things. First that is awesome. 2nd I'm stealing this SS idea

Nice spreadsheet. Blimey that's a rapid loss! Well done you. Enjoy! My loss has been a steady 2lbs a week for many months. It speeds up and slows down. Have never approached anything like yours
