How Much Have We All Lost????

Hello to all of my fellow June buddies! I visited my surgeon this past week for my 3 month check up... I have lost 55# thus far... according to my surgeon that means 21% of my excess body weight has been lost thus far... putting me at "average". I wonder what that really means.... am I really "average"??? I bet we have all wondered, at some time or another, how we are doing as compared to our fellow "June babies"... So here I am... taking a poll of everyone..... HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST.. SINCE SURGERY????? Please do NOT include those pounds you were able to loose pre-op... that will confuse things a bit.. Thanks to all of you for your input... It will be great to hear how we, together, are doing! Have a great Labor Day!! Sandy

I have lost 53 pounds since surgery. Congratulations on your lose. Deloris 309/288/235/135

I weighed 358.6 on June 10th when I had the lap band surgery. I now weigh 280 (without a fill). So that's 78.6 pounds since June 10th!

Awesome job Ed!!! You will melt away in no time!!! Thank you for sharing! Sandy

Hi Mary Jo! Thank you so much for sharing! What an awesome thing to have lost 51% of your excess body weight already! What is your secret??? Hugs to you, Mary Jo! You are a wonderful lady....always here on the boards giving support! Your wls friend Sandy

Hi Sandy, congrats on the loss!!! I have not quite hit the 3 mos mark yet, but I have lost 52 lbs. YEAH!!! Unfortunately, I haven't last anything in a little over a week. BOO!!!!

Well my 3 month date was the first. I am down (without my pre op losses) 60 lbs on the nose. LISA 310/226/onderland (day of surgery was 286)

Hi Sandy, My surgery was June 28th, and I'm down 47 pounds. 4 pound loss this week alone. To all my fellow wls cohorts who are on a plateau, up the protein, up the protein. This worked for me! I thought i wasn't going to lose anymore, it had been 3 weeks. Just up the protein!lol

Great job, Penny! You are going to melt away! May I ask... how much protein were you eating when you were on your plateau and how much did you increase your protein to?? Do you drink protein drinks?? I have one for breakfast every morning and just recently began having one in the evening (as I too has stopped loosing) too! Would love to hear how many grams you are getting in a day!
