I lost 82 pounds so ...

I lost 82 pounds so far and am doing great. I am a whopping 148 noe and am still losing about 3 pounds a week. I am slowing down a bit and think I will maintain my weight at 140. I this usual for gastric bypass patients after only 5 months? pattie

CONGRATULATIONS!! Looks like we are pretty close. I've lost 81 lbs and am sitting at 151. So I assume its normal. my weight started slowing at the beginning of this month though. I'm trying for another 24 lbs to lose though. (((fingers crossed)))

great job! seems pretty normal...I'm there with you guys...yay! xxxBecca

It sounds like a lot of us are hitting a major stall about 5 mos out. I guess it's the worst stall of all! I'm just ready to start losing again! lol

Hi Stacy! You and I had surgery the same day I hit a stall awhile back that I thought was NEVER gonna end. I truly thought I was done losing. But now I seem to be dropping rather quickly again. Let's just hope it keeps up! I'm only about 30-40 lbs from goal! As of this morning, I've lost 91 lbs! Only 9 lbs to the 100 mark!! woooohooooo!! I hope all goes well for you Brenda

Sounds great to me! I have only lost 64 lbs since surgery. I am guessing that my age and the fact that I lost 60 lbs during the 6 months prior to surgery are slowing me now. It is getting frustrating. I still have a long way to go.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!!!!!!! Yes, it must seem normal I am down 125lbs total but 100 since surgery date.......I work out like a machine though and am at the gym 12times a week, and eat right, and portion control everything down to the science, I love my new tool as I am sure the rest of you do too!~ Congrats on your WL, and keep going~~~~~ All My Best, Francesca

I am almost 6 months out and I hit the 80 pounds lost this morning. I still have about 30 more to go. My weight loss has really slowed down. I was hoping to be at 100 pounds lost by the end of March but the rate that I am not losing it will be the summer at the soonest. Last month I only lost 5 pounds. This month I am at about 7-8 pounds. I got spoiled with that 15 pounds a month!!!LOL But at least I am not gaining and this is more that I would have lost on my own.
