Everyone answer this please.

Hello, my weight at surgery Febuary 23 was 280 lbs, and today I am weighing in at 205, also I am 5"6, The weight is coming off really slowly now, well not really slow I guess just not as quick as it was at first, the dietician for Dr said she would like me to be at 135-140, so I have a ways to go.

Don't forget to measure yourself. Sometimes when we are losing the least weight, we are losing the most inches! So measure about once a month. (and 75lbs in 5 mos is AWESOME!!!)

Hi I was 295 heaviest Surgery 276 Feb 9 05 Today 210 Loss since surgery 66 Total Loss 85lbs Ya you are right I thought everyone else was losing more than me but when you look at it the way you put it I guess I am about the same as others. THANKS makes me feel better. 110/100 to go

Ahh let me add my 2 cents: I needed to lose about 129 lbs when I had surgery. Heaviest 284 Surgery Feb 10th 2005 Today 207 July 11 Total Loss 77 lbs - 52 # left to lose to 155 (goal). Kia

Lorraine I'm right there with ya, with the heaviest and preop, but I'm down to 170. Once I bumped up my protein I started losing again. I was at a plateau for about 2 weeks. Stephanie

Hi, I too get discouraged seeing and reading what everyone has lost in such a short amount of time. My sis n law had surgery a year ago last month and is 5 pounds to goal she look outstanding. My girlfriend just had the surgery in May and is 10 pounds away from me.. so yes I am disapointed that I haven't lost more. I can't eat hardly anything... Pre surgery my highest was 304 Day of surgery 298 5 months post op I am 235 My goal is to be 165 I am 5'10 Ps.. hubby has been away for the whole 5 months and has not seen any of the weight loss. I would like to lose the 35 pounds before he gets back from Deyploment in Sept.. what a shock.... Tara

Hey your doing great! You've lost half the weight you need to lose. That is right in line with the rest of us. We've all lost between 40 and 60 percent of our excess, and that is great!

I weighed 376lbs prior to surgery. I now weigh 264. I want to weigh 199. Surgeon wants 216. Hope this helps! Kristin
