Just out of curiousity - for those of you who have reached your goal weight, how long from surgery did it take?

i'm about 13 1/2 months out and still about 30 pounds away, but mind you i set my goal weight to 95% of my excess weight which was probably setting myself up for a little disappointment. i've lost 75% of my excess weight which is amazing, and really i said i would be okay at 170 which i hit about 8 or 9 months out of surgery

actually i just realized i have my tracker on here set to 120 which would be more like 98 or 99% excess weight ("ideal" for me is 118).

A little over a year. But I continued losing for about 18 months. I ended up below goal.

I hit my goal, well 2 lbs below goal, just before my 8 months. I just got the okay to be in "maintenance mode".

11 months, 2 weeks. I am 5lbs below now but expect that to come back sooner or later.

I reached my surgeons goal, and my first goal at 3 months (150 lbs), I am now 6 months and 2 lbs from my second goal of 135. I started out at 233. I lost extremely fast my first 3 months, and only 13 lbs in the last 2 months together.

Wow you guys! Congratulations on reaching your goals so quickly! I am on the opposite side of this fence, though. I just reached my two years and I have still not reached my goal. I have had some non-WLS related hip issues (two hip surgeries in the past nine months) and have been unable to work out for much of the past year and a half. But I just got the all clear to start slowly working out again. In any case, I lost about 90 pounds my first year and about 20 pounds this past year. Hopefully I can lose another 25-ish in the coming year. It is what it is, but I am pretty happy with my losses thus far. Good luck to you!
