Question:
how much weight loss at 8 months?

How much weight loss at 8 months....I started at 5'8" 321 pounds on April 15, 2003. I now weigh 216 for a loss of 105 pounds? Any body similar? Am I on the right path? And how much do I expect to lose more?    — spelayo (posted on December 11, 2003)

I had surgery on 4/11 and am down 104, so I guess you are on track. My dr is very please with my loss so far. I need to loose another 30 though

You are doing fantastic. I had my surgery May 20 and have lost 78 pounds which I think is a lot. Iam down ten sizes. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged with plateaus. Carol

I had my surgery on April 24th I'm 5'9 started at 311 and I am currently at 212. So I guess were both on track. Good luck with your new adventure in life.

Hi Silvina..Wow we started out at just about the same stats..I am 5'8" and was 327lbs...At 8 months I was down exactly 121 lbs...so I would say your doing WONDERFUL..Yes, if you make and effort you will lose more weight. I am now almost 13 months post op and down 159 lbs- The weight is coming off VERY VERY slowly now (a few pounds a month) But by all means, I'm not complaining..Best wishes Kim

Hi there--we have the same re-birthday! I am 5'10", was 308 on 4/15/03, and now weigh 200--although I did get down to 198 last week :\ I wish I knew how much more we can expect to lose, I'd like to get down to 174, which would get me out of the 'overweight' category.

Hi Silvina: I'm 5'8" and started out at 332, surgery on 04-09-03. I'm at 230 right now, loss of 102 pounds. I've slowed down dramatically since I started exercising a month ago. Inches, however, are going down steadily! I measured before I started exercising and just re-measured this week. I wish I could say I was at goal (175-185), but I'm thrilled so far. I, unfortunately, do not seem to dump on sweets and although I don't eat many, I have had a cookie or brownie here and there (I have 10 family birthdays between October & December). I am increasing my exercise and trying to get more protein in before I eat carbs. I've also been slacking a little on water. I used to get a gallon a day in, now I force myself to get 64 oz. Also, I've found myself to be drinking more coffee than usual (3 cups a day as opposed to 1). I would say you seem to be on the right track though! Good luck!

That sounds like you're doing pretty well to me. I started at 5'9" and 359 pounds. I lost 124 pounds after 8 months, but when you figure I started 38 pound heavier, you're ahead of me, really! Now at almost 15 months out, I'm down 173 pounds. I'm 186 and would like to lose another 20 or more pounds but it's gotten a lot harder in the last two months. I'm a size 14 now and am sure I could be a size 12 or less once I get plastic surgery!

I had my surgery 4/7/03 and started at 357 lbs.and I'm at 240. I eat 6 times a day...3 main meals w/1 cup food and the other 3 are about 1/2 cup food. I workout 3-4 days a week and I'm planning on increating that in Jan/Feb.
