6 months out

I'm 6 months out of surgery and have lost 100#'s! yeehaw! I look and feel great. No side effects or complications. I went shopping the other day and am into a size 6 already.... I'm so greatful to my dr. for doing the best job possible and to my support group for helping me along the way. My husband has been so supportive and always there for me. You wouldn't even know I had surgery. No problems with food; well of course except for sugar. i'm sugar free and loving it!

Congrats to you. I am 6 months out and have lost only 64 pounds. Down from a size 26 to a Size 18 - 20. I still need to lose another 76 pounds. I hit such a long platue, but the scale has finally started moving a little again. I just hope it keeps moving down. Tammy

I am 7 months out and have only lost 68 pounds. I too have hit a VERY long plateau. What did you do to get the scales to start moving? I am at a loss. Congratulations on your weight loss.

I am 6 months out as of 8/30, and I have lost 80 pounds. I have not plataued. I am a slow and steady loser, I average 6-8 pounds a month after 2 months out. If you lost 50 pounds, or 100, just remember, your losing, and the rate of loss is not as important as the actual loss itself. I also heard somewhere along the way, that when a person loses slow, there is less chance of hanging skin. That, I would imagine also depends on age, amount of weight to lose, and metabolism. Never be disappointed in YOUR loss, each and everyone of us are as individual, and different as fire and ice. God Bless, Susan

I had surgery on 8-16 and I have lost 138 pounds, I went from a size 26 to a 12 so far and I feel great no complications and I wouldn't change anything! Good luck to all! 308/172-40 more to go!
