That is something to be proud of. I have dropped 105 but for the last month I haven't lost anything. I will be 10 months out on the 26TH. Check your diet and exercise maybe you need to tweek something there or it may just be one of those platues they warn us about. Hang in there it will get better. Kristi

If it makes you feel any better, I lost 80 since the surgery (April 21, 2005). I had lost 60 two years before the surgery.

You've done a great job!!! Everytime I think I'm not losing what I should be I go to the "post-op" planner and look at what my goal should look like. I think (at least for me) I got really used to the weight just falling off and not really having to work at it. Now is the time to use our "tool" the honeymoon phase is over. The post-op planner says 60% of our excess weight is the average amount lost. Next time you get the chance go to the planner and start at 60% and then go up from there. I think you'll be surprised at how well you're doing!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I've lost 98 pounds and am not depressed. I've only ever been able to lose 50 pounds before WLS and I managed to do it about five times. I feel confident these 98 pounds are gone for good. Step back and look at your big picture and you will see you should be jumping up and down for joy and not wallowing! Cheer up, girlfriend!

Topic: HELPPPPP!!!!
Hello all, I need a serious pep talk. I will be 10 months post-op on the 18th of this month and I have only lost 100lbs. I look at eveyone else profile and they have lost so much more that I have. Why???? My start weight was 287. I'm so depressed. My goal weight is 150 and I was hoping to be at goal by my 1 year check up. Somebody please help before I go crazy.
