Weight at 6 months

[Ms. Mandy 14]

What would be an ideal weight loss for 6 months post op??

[michelecaples 224]

According to my surgeon, as long as you have lost at least 50 lbs in 6 months you are average. Most lise more than that though! I will ne 6 months on march 25 and have lost 70

[shrinkingDEE 60]

At 6 months I was down 89 lbs. I'm currently 7 months (almost 8) out and I'm down 94 lbs. I don't know how normal my average is but I hope it helps.

I will be 5 months post op on 10/29 and down 69 since surgery. 80 since week prior to surgery

[Ms. Mandy 14]

So probably loosing 100 lbs during the first six months isn't probably realistic. I have lost 54 lbs since my surgery date in November and 64 lbs all together.

It can be done!! But I have seen it mainly in those that had a lot of weight to lose. The closer we get to our Ideal body weight the slower it comes off.

I was down 80-90 in the month I hit 6 month mark. 100 isn't unrealistic what my surgeon says the more you have to lose it seems to come off fast "at first" but then we level off and lose at average rate. So if you don't 100 by 6 months I wouldn't think twice about it.

Thanks lady! I am going to try to do it but not going to feel like a failure if I don't. I am going to try to get as close as possible! ????

I think it's realistic it's just that everybody is different and you always have to eat the right portions and the Snacks and drink a lot of Water as well so your metabolism can increase and therefore you will loose weight faster. I want to get to my goal weight by the end of August which will make my six month mark. So far I'm 5 weeks post op and I've lost 40 pounds already which if I keep up the way I'm going I should hit my goal weight. My starting weight was 252 and my surgery date was Feb 4,2013 now I'm 212 and my goal weight which was set up by my doctor according to my height it's 132.6 . but if I don't make it by August ill definitely make it by dec. good luck with everything.

I'm six and a half months out and am down 145.6 pounds

Start weight was 334

Current weight 188.4

[Nicole K 352]

I'm three months out and I'm down 55 lbs since surgery and 60 lbs total a week before surgery.

Everyone is different . Someone with 250 lbs to lose will lose faster than someone who only has 100 to lose.
