When do I stop losing?

[alisiak 25]

Tomorrow will mark my 3 month surgaversary and I am down 63 pounds. I'm 5'9 and my surgery day weight was 277. Everyone keeps asking when I will stop and I'm not really sure. What has everyone else's experience been like? My goal is to lose 100 in a year but seems like I'll hit that mark much quicker... Or no?

I'm 35yo 5'4 and I've lost 120. I will be 11 months post op on the 18th of October. You will do it! ????

I wonder the same thing and no one can really tell me! I've lost 70+ since surgery and 100 since I started my diet a year ago. I will be 5 months tomorrow.

It depends on a lot of things. Age, excercise level and compliance with the diet. You will also loose more faster than people that don't have as much to loose. I started at 289 10 months ago and am 170 today. Hoping to be in the 150's in November for my 1 year ????

Good question, if anyone has answers I'll listen. I'm starting to get really thin and usually the week before my lady cycle I can eat a lot 1200-1300 calories other than that my stomach doesn't hold much. I can't tolerate many carbs. I never thought I would say this but I'm worried about losing too much weight. I'm almost a year out and 135 pounds.

My goal was 111 lbs. I am 11 1/2 months post op and I still have 4.6 lbs to go. I keep losing a pound and gaining a pound for the last month. It gets really hard the smaller you get. I am a size 4 and feel pretty good, but I set a goal and I would really like to reach it.

Is everyone exercising 3 to 4 times a week or more or you all just loosing without excercise?

We were told in our after care meetings that our bodies know when to stop losing and that it's not up to us, so long as we are compliant. I guess only time will tell as I'm already down 81 lbs. and not even 6 months post-op.
