Weight loss at five months out

Hello, fellow September barries. I was just wondering where everyone is in their weight loss. I will be five months out on Wednesday and wonder if I'm on track. As of last week, I have lost 78 pounds. I'm hoping to be down 80 pounds by my five month weigh-in in two days. How much weight has everyone else lost? Just curious.

Hi Kristy!!! Congrats on the weight loss! I had my surgery on sept 29th and at my last Doctors apt on feb 4th I had lost 72lbs. Doctor said I was about right where he thought I should be. Keep up the great work!

Hi Kristy Your'e doing great! I have only lost 65lbs so far, open RNY on 9/22/03. Starting weight 250. Wi**** were more, pounds coming off really slow now. I think I need to excercise more. What are you eating now and how much? I'm keeping my calories under 1000.

I had the gastric band and was five months out yesterday. Up to last week, I have lost 69.5 (can't forget the .5).... looks like we are real close to each other. Keep it up!! Jen

12 days and I will be 5 months out. I have only lost 62 lbs. Seems like its a struggle for each pound. Dr. Rodriquez said I was doing about right at my last visit...its just hard when you see other people MELTING! I need to stop griping and count my blessings!

9/9/03 here and down 64lbs.

I had Open RNY surgery on Sept 2nd, and I have lost 154 pounds. My six month check up with surgeon is March 2nd, and I have exceeded the personal goal I have set for myself. Cheers, Gen

Hi Kristy! It sounds like you're doing pretty well. I'm down 67 pounds so far. I've hit a few plateaus along the way, but am pleased with my progress. Although I want all the extra weight to come off **Right Now!** I am enjoying the process. It sure beats the crap out of all the diets I've been on. All two hundred thousand of them.

I am 5 months out today and also just came back from my 5 month check up so I know exactly what I weigh...277 thats down 83 pounds since 9/17. Sometimes it feels like it is coming off so slowly and then when I look at the entire number of pounds lost I feel amazed I think all of us are doing great and we should have they "weigh Ins" every couple months what ya think?

Thanks everyone for your great responses. I feel now that I am definitely right on track. We are all doing so well and have so much to be proud of! I weighed in this morning for my exact five-month weight. I have lost 82 pounds in five months . I am so excited. My husband and I are going to Mexico in three weeks and I had hoped to lose 85 pounds by then, so I think I'm well on my way. Congratulations to everyone and keep up the great work! We all have a ton to be proud of. Hugs, ~Kristy (lap rny 9/18/03 - 320/238/168)
