It's becoming so real *losers bench I'm coming in 8 days*

Well 8 more days tomorrow till surgery.

I know everyone journey is there own. However I have a question. (I'm getting ahead of myself) but seeing as you can only lose 80% of your weight the based on where u start so for example:

I'm now 280 and they say I'll only get to 180 tops but I'm trying to be 150 ... is that still a possibility?

I know at that point I believe it will be all on me and it won't be as easy to lose weight as it is the first 3 to 4 months after surgery.

Another question. . Has anyone lost 100 pounds in 4 months?

I'm just curious as to weight and how much ya'll lost in the first month and how long did it take u to be able to get active in the gym?

Any positive advice is great ... thanks wls family

Congratulations on your upcoming WLS. I have all of my losses written down but a starting point for info is I had surgery on March 4, 2016. I weighed 309.8. I am now 175.2. I have lost approximately 135 in 7 months. 

Like you said everybody's journey is their own. Remeber to sip and walk as much  as possible after surgery. 

Good luck and keep us posted. 

that 80% is an average.  There are several people on here who have lost all their excess weight, so it's possible - you just have to really work at it.  100 lbs in 4 months is also possible - but that is at the very high end of the range.  I didn't lose anywhere near that fast, and I've lost over 200 lbs in total

P.S.  I lost 16 lbs the first month.

I could..and did...walk right after surgery.  Most everything else I could do by four weeks out - except for weights.  I think I had to wait six weeks to do weights.
