Question:
Does anyone have similar stats at 6 months post-op??
I am 30 years old, had surgery on 08/05/02 and started at a weight of 391 and height of 5'8" tall. I am exactly 6 months post-op today and weigh a total of 246 pounds (for a total weight loss of 145 pounds. Although I am extremely happy with my success so far, Im wondering what others have experienced who started at similar stats and age. What can I expect from here?? Im starting to plateau. But, have also been ill lately and not getting in the necessary protein and water. For those that are already past their 1 year mark with similar stats, what was your goal and when did you reach it?? Thanks in advance for your responses. — c B. (posted on February 5, 2003)

I don't have the same stats, but I just wanted to say WOW!!!!! You are
doing great. I know what you mean about things slowing down, my surgery
was one day after you and all of a sudden things slowed way down, but
that's a good thing too! I just keep going to Curves, drinking water and
upping my protein. We will be buff before you know it!

I am 5.8 and started at 362. At six months I had lost about 105, so you
are doing great! Of course, you are 12 years younger than me, so that
helps! Keep up the good work! I am almost two years out, and I have lost
180 pounds. I am hoping to lose another 10-20 pounds in skin off of my
legs. If this happens, I will be at my personal goal for my height. Best
wishes.

Wow! 145 pounds, that's great! I had my surgery 8-2-02, so I too am 6
months out, my stats are 5'7" started out at 329 and as of today I
have reached the century club of -100 pounds. I don't follow my diet like
I should, I hardly exercise and I don't really keep up with my protein. My
weight is really starting to slow to a crawl, so I guess I need to start
the exercising like I should.
What ever you are doing sure seems to be working, wish I had lost that
well. Keep up the good work!
