Yo-yo girl 118 Posted June 30, 2018 For those of you who have lost that much weight, first of congrats and how long did it take to lose it? 6 months, a year, longer? Taking this day by day can sometimes be overwhelming and I often find myself wishing it were already 6 months later because I can’t wait to get to where I’ll be by then. I started my bypass journey at 304lbs May 21st and I’m now 270lbs If this question triggers you then walk away and spare me with the don’t compare yourself to others and everyone loses at a diff rate!

It looks like we have a similar starting weight, current weight, and goal weight. How tall are you?I want to and I also want to enter my surgery date and all that stuff but I don’t know how [emoji30]I’m 5’5 my first goal weight is 250lbs then 200lbs and lastly 150lbs. I’ve broken it down into a few goals because it’s easy to get discouraged looking down from being so far up but the smaller goals are my “way to go, you’re almost there” pat in the back [emoji38] What’s your goal weight?

KimTriesRNY 1,853 Posted June 30, 2018 It took me six months from my surgery date, which was my personal goal. I was heavier than you but am a slower loser. Slow, but consistent. 1 Degey! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slow, but consistent I wouldn't say 100lb in six months was slow, that's an average of nearly 17lb per month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s all relative. It’s slower than many people with that starting weight. But I’m fine with my progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losebig 508 Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) About 6.5 months I should hit it at my 'official weekly weigh in' Tuesday. Would have been about a month sooner, but I have increased calories a lot as I exercise and that slowed things a little. I had the sleeve so a bypass likely would be quicker Edited June 30, 2018 by Losebig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
