how much have u lost?

Hi, Everyone is doing great! I was told I was a "slow loser". I have lost 120 pounds since the day of surgery. It's not something that you want to hear from your surgeon -sort of makes you feel discouraged, but the scale continues to move. And, since my recent hernia surgery, things are really moving again. My appetite has not been the same and I can't eat as much as I did prior to July 12th. So........we'll see what happens. Finda Nessy, I think you are doing great! Megen 389 - day of surgery 269 - current weight 180 - ultimate goal weight (for me!) - 89 pounds to go!!!!!!!

Pre-op: 241.5 Current: 148 My goal: 150 Dr's goal: 135

I'm a slow loser................And I hate it but I thank God that I'm loosing. I've been slacking on exercise and I can tell the difference. I will be back at it on Monday and hopefully reporting good news of pounds down I'm down about 110! I was also more muscle than fat so maybe that makes a difference. Good luck and keep at it! Keke

Keke you have been missed...110 pounds...wonderful...I just read your profile and you need to updae big time with some pictures also...welcome back, you have been mised... Dennis

I sent an updated picture in last night. Hopefully it will be up in a week or so! It feels good to be missed. Take care of yourself! Keke

I've lost 97 lbs since surgery...which is just over 80% of my excess body weight. (I started at 240, my ideal body weight is 120). Since we all started at such different weights, I'm curious as to how we're doing as far as percentages of excess body weight lost.... My surgeon's goal for me was to lose 75% of my excess body weight, which is the average for gastric bypass patients. So, technically I've reached my goal, but I'd like to lose another 18 lbs (goal of 125) Anyone else want to chime in?? Kate

Surgery date: 10/05/05 Highest weight 330 Todays weight: 180 -150lbs! (However I've been there at this weight for 3 weeks now!!!!!) I still need to loose another 15-20 lbs. to get to my goal weight of 160/165. I'm 5'8.

You are doing so great. I have lost 94 pounds since Dec 9 but the scale hasn't moved in two months and I am very discouraged.

Hi everyone Haven't been on this board for a while, but love seeing this post and where we all stand since we all had surgery around the same time. SW was 269, current weight 142, doctor's goal 141, my goal 135ish. I'm a little over 5'7" Kathy

Keke, you're not the slow loser. I started 297 from the first Dr. visit. I now weigh 216. I haven't really been doing the fluids like I should but I should have lost way more. I wish I had even lost 100 by now. This is really depressing at times but i'm happy for the rest of you.
