How much weigh lost

Hi Everybody, would you mind posting a total weight lost up to this time. I have lost about 73 lbs, and I am wondering how that matches what any of you have done. I feel like I am at a standstill and wish I could lose faster. Any suggestions? kay told me to try more shakes per day, whick I am now doing and I have uped my protein. I don't know if my age (59) has anything to do with how fast I lose or not. Take care and God Bless

I'm 46 years old and have lost 73.5 lbs as of today. I think we do lose slower than the young folks here.

73 pounds is fantastic! I have to agree with kay... the more protein i get, the more pounds I lose. Keep up the great work! Take Care, Mary

Hi Rosemary~ Have you talk to your surgeon. Maybe he has a suggestion. I personally think 73 lbs. is GREAT! All surgeons and nuts have different opinions but mine does suggest 2 protein shakes and making sure I get a good amount of protein in a day. As I have read on several post on the main board, age has a big part in weight loss! I think your doing a good job. Keep doing the right things and following your surgeons rules and I'm sure it will come off. Take Care Kay

I am 55 and I tend to agree that age does make a difference. As does how much we have to lose and what our bodies and personal lives deal into the mix. I think you are doing fantastic. I have lost 86 pounds as of this morning. Hazel

Hi Rosemary, I do agree that age has a lot to do with it also. I'm 27 and I've lost 104 pounds so far. You are doing great though, keep up the good work. Carly

I'm 27 and have lost 114 since my WLS. Dawn

I'm 39 years old and have only lost 65 so either/neither arguement is lost on me.

Hi, I'm 52 and I've lost 65. Not as much as most,,,but I feel like a million dollars. Kathy
