Hey I am 5'7" and started out at 376. I lost 37 in 10 days but then it really slowed down, that was all water weight. Please read my profile and I have tried to keep it updated. Everyone loses differently, eat your protein and drink your water, and walk....

I was 5'6 1/2 and started around 342 so we are pretty close. You can check out my stats if you want ( I am almost 9 months out). Good Luck! Mary Beth

I started at 376lbs 5'7. I had surgery (open rny) on Oct 5th of 1999. I have maintained 160-165lbs ever since. Just had a panni removal and tummy tuck on 1/24/03. If you have any questions drop me a line .:) Deanna

5'6 started at 324. Down to 158 and bounce between that and 165. Had surgery almost 2 years ago 6/26/01. Good luck and God bless! No plastic surgery yet. I'm a bit flabby but nothing to write home about.

Hey sweetie. I was 368 the time of surgery, I lost 14 lbs the month before. I lost 40# the first month. I will be 6 months on the 19th of this month, and I have lost 120#. Dont worry...everyone goes at different rates.

There's really no such thing as "normal" and those comparisons are bound to lead to frustration. Everyone loses differently and you're always going to find someone losing faster than yourself, but you're doing just great! I started at about 360 and I'm taller than you (almost 5'9"). I lost 26 pounds my first month. 34 pounds in one month is a great success in my book!
