1 year post op. How much have you lost in 1 year including preop weight loss

[TheWigster 70]

I was sleeved March 17, 2014. I have lost 100 pounds since my journey started in November 2013. That's 45 pounds pre op and 55 pounds since surgery. I am at a stall. How much have you lost in all? Please share. Am I behind????? I feel like I should have lost more. I still need to lose 55 more pounds. Should I be worried that I haven't met my goal in one year?

Today, it's been exactly 1 year for me, since I began my 6 month supervised diet. I've lost a total of 73 lbs. During the 6 month diet, I lost 23 lbs. I'm aiming to hit my goal weight by early summer. Don't worry too much! Keep going! You can do it! Everyone is different with losing weight. If you feel you need to revamp your eating or exercising, just do it. Sometimes, our bodies just need some change to kick itself back into gear again. You got this!

Today is my one year surgiversary as well. I've lost 135 lbs, but have been at this weight since November. I'm assuming the "honeymoon" phase is over and I'm at a stall. But obviously I'm very happy with my results! I want to lose another 15lbs and if it takes a year to lose it I won't complain. Maintaining is a huge part of this journey.

I was sleeved on May 6, 2014. To date, I am -96 pounds. I have four more pounds to go to hit my original goal, 14 more to be at my final goal ( to give myself some wiggle room). This has been such an amazing journey, but I can't compare my weight loss or my journey to anyone else's. We all have different body types and differences in our lives that influence our rate of weight loss. You should be very proud of how far you have come and your own journey. I am. I feel like I have my life back (even better than before because I realize what I have been missing out on all these years). Enjoy your journey and savor it. I think we can appreciate it even more knowing where we started. Good job & best of luck to you!!

dont measure yourself against anyone else, it will only upset you or them. everyone is different, and thats a fact. youve done great things, if anyone worries about thier weight loss, we all know exactly what we eat and how much we exercise, so everyone knows if we arent doing what we should, or if we are on a slow and steady path to thindom. ( yes i know its not a word)

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I joined a Gym two weeks ago and have started working out with a personal trainer 1 hour a day 5 days per week and since starting my workout I have seen the scale go up 4 pounds. This freaked me out hence the reason for my post. Just wondering how everyone else is doing? I am very proud of the 100 pound loss. I feel amazing. I know that the exercise will help in the long run, I am just fearful that my doctor will be disappointed with my progress. Thanks again for your replies. Keep them coming!!

Well of course muscle weighs more than fat my surgery was May 21,2014 I've lost 100 pounds but up and down every day feel like I'm at a stall in gonna try only liquids for a day or two next week to see if that works!

Started at 191 and at the one year mark I am 127... 10 pounds to my goal. I am only 5'2.

you should always qualify the Muscle weighs more than fat , by adding, By Volume to it, because otherwise its not really true a pound of muscle is the same as a pound of fat or a pound of feathers, but the same volume of muscle weighs more than fat . I know im nitpicking. lol
