Looking for April 2007 Post ops starting weight about 242
Hey, girl. I had lost a little weight before my surgery, but when I started the process I weighed about 240. It took me from April to October to lose the 90 or so pounds that I wanted to lose, and I've pretty much stayed that way ever since. I don't know how far you want to go, or what your ideal weight is, but I think you have done extremely well in 6 months. It probably depends on your height and how active you are as to what you will be a year out...150 is a good weight for me.
Congrats on your weight loss. You go girl!

Hi,
I had surgery on April 27, 2007. At my highest I weighed 300lbs. On my day of surgery I weighed 281lbs. By Oct. of 2007 I weighed about 190lbs. After the one year mark the weight loss slowed down A LOT! I have to be more careful now about what I eat now. It's been too easy to slip into some bad habits. Unfortunately, I do not dump. I wish I had never eaten that first sugary thing. I had gotten used to no sugar and that opened the flood gates. Also, I have to stay away from carbs. With all that said, this has been the best decision of my life. I weigh 152lbs. now and I am controlling the bad stuff.
Good Luck on you continued success.
