Similar stats? 5'6", 250 pounds

[bjroberts417 102]

Hi everyone. I'm probably being neurotic, so forgive me. I know that everyone is different, and we will all lose weight differently, but is there anyone who is post-op that has similar starting stats as I do that wouldn't mind sharing your weight loss milestones? For instance, how much in first month, second, first year, etc. Thanks!

I am 5'4 and started out at 256. I lost about 25-30 the first month. At this time I am down 115 lbs and It has been 11 months.

I have gone from a size 22 to a 6 - although I might be in a 4 now. Shirts size was a 2xl and I now fit into a s/m.

Hope it helps.

My best advise to you is two things:

When you me doctor says you can start working out - go get your butt in the gym

Secondly when you hit your first stall - don't panic. That is when I lost the most inches and in my opinion that was more important than the scale.

Thank you ladies for your responses. Here's my confession: I'm going to see Bruno Mars in August and I want to be cute!!! :-D

Well I can say this - if you stress about it then you will unknowingly hold onto weight.

Follow you docs instructions and start working out as soon as you can. Don't get discouraged when the scale does not move because you will be losing your inches!

Keep your goal in mind and have fun achieving it! The sky is the limit!!!
