I am lucky to get 10 pounds in a month! I usually hit right around 8 pounds a month.

You are right on track.......so no more worrying! Lol

Your loss is awesome. Think of it this way... Aren't you willing to lose a little bit slower than you expected because this time - yep, this time - it will not come back?? You should expect a loss of 1-2 pounds a week. That's 4-8 pounds a month and you are over that by far! Pat yourself on the back and stay strong. You can do this!

I am in the same boat. 3 months out and lost only 20 pounds. I know everyone is telling us to be patient but I did expect to loose more weight by now. After saying that, keep up your good work. 10 pounds a month. that is awesome.

I am 4 months and 30 pounds gone so I think that you should be very proud of yourself! I was feeling down and my hubby said look at it this way that is 30 pounds gone that you are not gaining back..I did want to be in smaller clothes than this for the sping but I do have to look at the positive that my old clothes are falling off of me even if I am not exactly where I want to be.

yes!! good job! have you started exercising? that helps me! but my problem is I've lost 59 lbs but only 1 pants size. although I'm smaller everywhere & feel a lot more active. but you have to keep trucking. my doctor said that 100lbs over a year is a goal which would be less than 10lbs a month! so keep up the faith! you can do it!!

You're doing great! I'm about 5 1/2 months out and I've lost a little less than 60 pounds, so an average of about 10 lbs a month. Keep up the good work

Your weight loss is awesome - some people take 4-8 weeks to even start losing. The thing that concerns me about your post is that you say you are hungry all the time. The point of the adjustments is to get to a place where that is not happening. Make sure you are not having head hunger. And be proud of yourself! You are rocking it!

Yeah - the head hunger is the part they don't tell us about before we get banded. This is where you will have to focus your self control. It does eventually go away once you kick the addiction to eating even when you are not hungry. It's easier said than done for sure. But there is a difference between hunger and what is in your head and you can distinguish between it and override that desire to eat.

Heyyyy we are all on the same page! My 3 month annv was March 20th and I'm down 30 pounds too..... only 17 pounds are from the surgery tho so don't worry atleast we didn't gain 30 pounds! I have a lot of head hunger too! need to work at that...I also work out 2x a week with a trainer and work out on my own 1-2x. It's hard, but we will get through it!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
