Looking for perspective



Recommended Posts

I remember at my 1 year appointment I was told I had lost 85% of excess weight. I've lost more since then but slowly and I have to exercise and stick to basics from beginning of program if I want to lose more.

I'm 6 months post-op and I've lost 36% of my starting weight. My weight loss has slowed and I have found that if I want to keep it moving at a steady pace, I have to kick up my activity. At least now, I have the energy to do it!

I'll be 5 months next week and so far I've lost 41% of my excess weight (starting weight - goal weight = excess weight). I did set my goal weight about 15 lbs higher than what the BMI chart would probably recommend.... My surgeon does not discuss 'goal weight' until you are closer to 1 year post op which drives me nuts but that's another topic :) As far as percentage based on my starting weight as you've calculated it I'd be at 21% or so.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
