77 pounds in 5 months - that's fabulous!

There are a lot of slow losers (such as myself) who would be walking on the clouds if we reached that kind of goal...but I realize everyone is starting from different places.

I hope you reach a weight loss rate that satisfies you. Take care.

Congratulations on the weight loss! This band stuff can be an emotional roller coaster for sure. If you don't get what you need from the boards here ..... Go to in person meetings. Its amazing what a friend with the same issue can do for you :lol:

I am hoping that I will continue to lose so I can have results like yours. That is wonderful. Please stop crying and pat yourself on the back. Go buy a new outfit and Celebrate your weight loss. You have done an amazing job. :lol:

Are you kidding me? You were disappointed at losing 77 pounds in 5 months?

I swear to you that I have a friend who lost 30 lbs. in 5 months! So count your blessings my friend.

You are doing awesome! Keep up the good work!

I definitely understand how EASY it is to be Really REALLY hard on ourselves. We sort of have this image and vision of accomplishments in a certain, distinct time frame. I think it's time to SMASH IT! and be super proud of what you have done! HOnestly, I would KILLLL to have lost that much in 5 months.

I am 8 months post-op and only have lost 54 lbs. My goal is 90 lbs. I don't know what your goals are, but you should really take a step back and appreciated everything you have done so far!

AWESOME !!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
