Wow, I'm about 10 lbs from that right now at 3 months. I wonder if that is your weight at surgery or before getting into a program. If I use my day of surgery weight, I'm nowhere close to where I should be!

Its your starting weight before surgery

So the day you go under the knife or the day you start the pre-op diet plan? That was very different for me. Not trying to be dense, this just has me a little alarmed.

That chart is pretty accurate for me!! Was about 320 pounds on day of surgery and three months later, I was 268 pounds.

Really accurate for me too. Started at 289 and exactly 3 mos later I’m 240! I’m really hoping I️ get to 200 by 6 mos ( as the chart reads) but I’m losing 10 pounds a month so that’s 30 not 40 pounds. I️ guess I’d take 210 anyway. At 5’8 I’d look pretty good at 210! Thanks for the chart. It’s a great visual.

My co-worker across the room from me (it's not a big room) opened a Coke and I swear to Xenu, my head turned so fast towards him, I wonder if I gave myself whiplash. I haven't had soda since a couple weeks before the surgery... [emoji20]
But hey, so far I've lost 40 pounds and I have roughly 136 more to go. [emoji4]

I️ have no had Diet Coke in so long. I️ think I’m good through the winter but once summer comes I️ know I’ll want it!

I wanted those who were being discouraged about their weight loss to see what the average person who is following all rules should be losing and have a good idea of what they will lose in the next year. This is absolutely accurate for me, i was 244 and now im 207. So right on target!

My surgery date was 8/29 BTW :0)

Why would you want Diet Coke? It's not like we drink this stuff for its nutritional content. Why not try something like chocolate milk or Water? Either is more nutritional and tastes a HELL OF A LOT BETTER.

Pretty accurate for me. Started at 304 now 245 at 3.5 months, can’t wait to see what it will be at a year.

Thank you for posting that. I’m really glad you did. I may take that along to my next doctor visit because according to that chart I am ahead of where I should be so it’s doubly encouraging.

No, looking at your numbers you look pretty good to me. About 7 pounds difference. Keep the big picture in mind. 😊
