Congrats, I'm concerned cause it's not coming off fast enough for me. It's been 8 weeks and 50 lbs but when I look in the mirrors I see the exact same body before surgery. I congratulate you it gives me motivation

50 pounds in 8 weeks! That is amazing! I am sad you can't see the difference- which I am sure is a huge difference

I am 14 weeks out and have only lost like 45!

Hi everyone!

Well as of 11.9.16 (just under 8 months post WLS) I hit my goal weight. SW: 256 CW: 166. I have not been this weight since I was 23 years old. I think that I will have a better body and health at the age of 40 than I was a 21.

How long has it taken some of you to hit your goal weight? Has anyone been told by those around you that you have lost weight too fast?

I just had to share the news with everyone here. I know that everyone would understand my excitement unlike those in my life that have not had the surgery!

I felt the same way, try taking pics every 10 lbs. It doesn't seem like a difference until you look at the pics

I take pics every 3 months (well special milestone pics) and it's great seeing the difference. I only weigh myself at doctors appointments.

These are my surgery month, 3 and 6 month pictures. I'll be taking my 9 month picture in just about a month. Can't believe that it's already been almost 9 months.

It took me a year to lose to my goal of 150 (85 pounds. Slow, I know), but I continued to lose for several months after that. Don't be surprised when you do, too. As long as you're within a healthy range, lose as much as your body let's you!

I reached goal at about 7 months (from 219 HW/185 SW to 125). I was told by several people (including one nurse in surgeons office) that I was losing weight too fast. However I think that a lot of people lose at this pace if they follow the rules.
