I think it is definitely possible to lose an additional 30 pounds but it is unlikely to happen in just three months at almost a year out. As you get smaller, your caloric deficit decreases and the weight loss slows, and your body has been gradually overcoming the caloric malabsorption, so you are absorbing more of the calories you eat.
You don't stop losing weight after a year out, but it slows significantly, and since you lost 112 pounds in 11 months (about 10 pounds a month) during the period of most rapid weight loss, you are very unlikely to continue losing at that rate at a year out. (How much have you lost in the last 4 weeks? How much during the month before that? THAT rate of loss, or a bit less, is what is most realistic.)

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
My surgery date is June 2009. I have had significant hair loss over the last year or more. My hair is getting thinner and thinner. I've been using a protein conditioner for about 8 mo.s now. I started prenatal vitamins about 1 mo. ago. I've been taking biotin for a week now. Does anyone have any suggestions that they have had actual noticeable success in stopping major hair loss?

well it's been five years for me and I have lost, I have gained, have lost and I have gained some things have improved and something's have not. For the most part I feel great I still love my decision I can eat most things with out any problem .I still have a hard time with chicken and steak. And most of the time it lands me over the toilet
. For a while I thought that was a daily ritual thank goodness I only get sic****asionally now. My lowest weight was 113. I ranged in the 120s to 130 for the most part. Since leaving my job and change in lifestyle habits I am now 148. I know my pouch still works it is the choices that I have made lately that has caused me to gain but I am working hard to lose it again! Anyways..... I just wanted to say hey and am curious how everyone's doing!!!!

I lost about 112 pounds, but I have regained about 35. My husband and I are trying to conceive, but part of me is terrified of what it will do to my body. I'm already very ashamed of myself for my regain and I can only imagine what a pregnancy will do to me, and I'm afraid of not being able to take the time to take care of my body after.
I reached goal a little over a year out and have not experienced any regain but that is my biggest fear. I do still weight every day since that helps me stay focused.
If you are steadily losing and not had bounce back I am sure you will get to goal.

Hello,
My ReBirthday is tomorrow and my journey is not over yet either. But I am down 10 dress sizes and I am a few inches away from another size down!!!
I am dancing off the pounds along with a weight bearing workout. I follow the 2:1 protein:carb ratio when I eat and that seems to help keep the protein on track. Bonus, I have a tracker on my cell phone! Keeping a food journal really helps.
I'm just curious how some of you are doing?
My journey continues - I have continued to steadily lose - and haven't bounced back... but haven't reached my goal of 175 yet.
Exercise is a way of life now - the getting protein in continues to be a challenge. I'm a size 14-16 on the bottom and a 10-12 on the top... For the most part I feel MUCH better than I did before, but finding it hard to accept where I have seemed to land as my final "resting" place.
How about you?
Dr. Benn gave me an incredible tool.. and I intend to make the most out of it!!
