Well, considering the average expected loss is 4-8 lbs/mo, and you've lost 7 lbs each month, I'd say you're doing GREAT!! There is nothing to be frustrated about, you are right on track for a terrific year.

You're doing great, if you had the outlook of 100 pounds in a year and you are down 42 at 6 months then at six months your desired goal was 50 you are only 8lbs off. You are doing wonderful, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!! :clap2:

Pat yourself on the back, you have lost 42 pounds, you will lose 100 lbs one day but you need to tell yourself what a great job you have done so far. The cup is half full, if it takes 2 years to lose 100 lbs it doesnt matter does it.

Focus on the positive and you will find you have a lot to focus on, congratulations on your success to date and keep up thye good work.

YOU ARE DOING FINE! I am right at 6 months and I have lost "only" 50+ lbs and I am at times a little discouraged, but I realize that this is NOT a race! A year, 2 years.....what ever it takes, we WILL get there! I tell you what, I dont have that "sunken in" look that alot of people who have lost too quickly! I have maintained my muscle mass, that usually gets used up when you lose too quickly! The more I think about it........I am losing it at just the right pace!!!

Well, At six months, I think I'd lost about 30 lbs, and now I'm at about 18/19 months and I'm at 55lbs lost, so even if you aren't going to reach your goal of 100lbs in one year, you are still doing really great.

If you lost too much too fast you will have a SAGGY skin all over your body...

Take it easy girl, and remeber these are a life-long changes. Not a YoYo thing.

Just think of where you will be next year at this time if you keep going at that pace, that will be a great accomplishment. Slow weight loss is the healthiest choice.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
