I'm looking to lose 80lbs and wanted to know if anyone has my stats and how long it took you to lose the weight. Thanks.

Hey everyone

I was banded jan 30 starting at 255 and now I'm 220 5'6 and I'm not sure how long it will take but I'm determined to get to my goal by the end of the year.

Thanks for all your replies guys!!

@Greyhoundgirl - I'm so proud of you! I wish I can lose 15lbs in 2 weeks post surgery!

@Alleycia - I'm pretty sure that at this rate, you will definitely get to your goal at the end of this year.

@ParrotHeadCathy - 51lbs in 2 months?? Wow, you're like a superstar in my heart.

Hello.. Unfortunately I am not in that category :blink: I am 5'2" and was 271 at surgery. So I was super short. You will do fine I am sure.

Just stopping in to say Hello

I was 5ft 10, about 245, BMI 36. It took me 2 years to lose about a hundred lb, I easily surpassed the top of my healthy weight range and settled at about the middle.

I found losing weight quite easy - I ate less and did more exercise and it was as simple as that. I continue to practice the same behaviours to keep the weight off.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
