70 pounds in 8 months



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if this is an average weight loss....my goal is 100 in a year so I have 30 to go in 4 months! I know I can do it I just need to start exercising haha I have not exercised AT ALL.....I really want to lose 150 total (not in a year) just wondering if people still lose weight after a years period? I have felt so amazing since my weight loss I've gained so much more confidence in myself I can walk without getting tired I LOVE IT! My surgery was may 1 I weighed 310 now I'm at 240 and I'm only 5'1 so I have lots to go still but very excited so far :) and was like I said just curious if people still kept losing after a year

Its probably above avg! U can expect weight loss to slow down after the first 6 months but don't give up on your goals? You're doing so well!

I averaged 10 lbs per month for 22 months for a total loss of 220 lbs. the last 45 lbs took 7 months as it slows way down at the end. It did for me anyway

I was banded on August 8, 2012 and I have lost 68.1 pounds including pre-op and my goal is to lose a 100 pounds by August 8, 2013 or more. I am sticking to a very low carb type diet and I meet with my surgeon every month to adjust my band so I can meet my weight loss goal.

Weight loss will slow down considerably! I am 15 months post op. I lost 1-2 lbs per week for the first 6 months after that it was like 1-2 a MONTH. I am down 90 lbs so far, and still slowly slowly losing. I walk 40 mins a day, which helps. It is a little dis heartening because you get used to the fast weight loss at the start, then struggle. But if u stay smart and keep fighting, the scale will still go in the right direction.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
