Well first of all, EVERYBODY's Rate of Weight loss is and gonna be different.

My dr gave me a magic number as a goal. For example: 80 lb goal, 60 lbs lost would be 75% of goal.

Drs consider weight loss over 50% of goal to be a success.

I also believe slow and steady is the way to go. You do not want to lose so much weigh so fast that you affect other areas of concern. Also make sure that when you feel good enough, incorporate walking into your daily routine. Reduces that saggy skin and great for future.

I am 5 months out and only have lost 47 pounds. Seeing how much you have lost so quickly has me happy for you but sad for me.

No don't say that... You are doing fantastic. I started at a high weight and I believe that plays a factor in the numbers. Plus I'm somewhat obsessed with everything. I don't eat more than 800 calories a day and I make sure I burn 609-700 calories at every workout. You are doing great... I just think I'm a little obsessed with reaching my goal. I'm very very selected about what I eat. In most cases if not high in Protein I don't bother eat (only exception is watermelon).

You're not alone! I'm 3.5 months out and only 37 lbs. It's one plateau after another. I'm just staying the course and trying not to be jealous of the fast losers. :)

I'm down 66lbs since the surgery, sleeved on Cinco de Mayo! Down almost 90 from my highest weight ever (335.. ugh). I don't compare my weight loss to other people's. I try to set a goal for myself. Currently my goal is 235 by Labor Day. Not sure it's gonna happen. I'm in the 240s now though. But I'm on track in that my losses are where I personally expected them to be. My surgeon feels 100 lbs is a successful number for me, but I plan on losing an additional 50 on top of that.

I think the weight you started play a factor in the numbers. If your BMI is high you tend to loss weight quicker. I have some friends that had the surgery the same day as me but were smaller than me at date of surgery and their weight loss is similar to yours. I think you are doing great.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
