rolosmom7 740 Posted December 2, 2016 Was your surgery recent?? If I can lose 10 a month I think that is average. People lose like 50 the first 3 months it's crazy the stories I read on here Yeah it took me 5 months to lose 50 pounds. Then I really slowed down. Especially when we are talking relative "lightweights" like the OP is (and I was), the weight loss isn't as dramatic as some that start out heavier. I've lost 55 pounds in 10 weeks - but a big caveat there is I'm 5'10. So my goal weight is 175. I'm sure it's about to slow down.

JodiT140 34 Posted December 2, 2016 I'm 5'8 and 292lb. My surgery date is the 15th of December. I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time. I have a huge fever of failure. But that can be a big motivator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi I'm not sure which one of us you're talking to so I figured I would answer. I'm doing okay. I've lost 130.7lbs. Feel good. I walked 3.2 miles at 10 degrees incline Non-Stop. In June July I couldn't walk 300 yards Non-Stop. I look better I feel better best decision I ever made.
