Weight Loss Progress!

[Seamster44 20]

How much are you guys losing each month?? I am 5'11 and my starting weight was 344. The first month I lost 27lbs. The second month I lost 13lbs, and now I'm a little more than have way through this month with 14lbs lost. With a total of 54lbs! I would love to know your progress!!

Oh wow you have lost a lot....

I m 3 months post op and I have lost like 32 pounds...

But my starting weight was 245 pounds, now I m at 215 pounds.... This 3rd month has been quite low and boring weight loss wise...????

But I m gonna give myself a decent 1 whole year to lose 100 pounds☺️

I think the mistake a lot of WLS patients make is thinking about weight loss the same way they might if they were on a diet. When you are on a diet, you want to lose weight FAST and get to goal ASAP so the diet will be "over". With WLS, it's never "over". So whether it takes you 6 months or 16 months to get to goal, it doesn't matter. As long as you eventually get there and can MAINTAIN it once you are there. Ten years from now, no one's going to be looking back and saying to themselves "if only I could have gotten to goal one month sooner!".

First 2 weeks I dropped 34 lbs and at one month was down 40. Now I'm down 44. 86 to go!

@Seamster44 Your loss is incredible! You are doing fantastic. I wish I could lose at that rate, I don't let go of the weight fast, never have... but I tend to lose pretty steadily. I am grateful for every pound I lose, lol. I am Insulin resistant, PCOS, and now menopausal LOL. Yet I am 100% sure I will make it to goal, even if I turtle my way there. My 3 months of losses are -19, -6, and -7 I think... I am down 34 lbs now in just over 3 months.

@☁9⃣B I am losing at about the same rate as you! In fact our stats are almost identical... I started at 250, at 216 now... and am giving myself a year to lose 100 lbs.

I m with you on this sister... Weight loss is happening slow and steady.... Again no complains... Just making it a point to stay focused and positive...

At this point that's the only key ☺️
