theres alot of factors that can influence numbers. but you can expect 50 to 80% ...I was down 80 some by the 6 month mark. I am 8 months an over 100 now. I used to obsess on the numbers on the scale I had to stop! I watch it but not as bad as I was! I just follow my plan and it works! May will be my 10 month and I go to chk in...:)

I am 3 months post surgery and I have lost 75 lbs. However, remember everyone is different. Don't get lost in the number game.

The formula is a good guide. I am exactly at the six month mark and I am at 65% excess weight gone. That has allowed me to really workout so I have transformed fat pounds into muscle pounds. At my age I consider each muscle pound a victory. I hope to report a major Pilates breakthrough this week!

Possible. I'm 6mths and lost 75lbs since day of surgery. I didn't have a pre-op diet, but many did. I'm sure if I had done a pre-op diet I would easily be down another 10 -20lbs.

I started at 344 in June of 2014 and I am now 234 and I feel good....I have about another 100 to go

Let me know how your second 100 goes. I am just starting this process and I have about the same to lose. I am worried about that second 100 pounds!

      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.
