I started at 250 and at about 6 months out I slowed to about a pound a week but that still put be over 100 pounds lost at 1 year.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 , Your posts made me curious so I went back and looked at my weight loss by month. I remember many postops telling me before surgery that the first six months would be the greatest loss and then it would slow to about 5 lbs a month. I lost 75 lbs in the first 6 months and have lost only 10 lbs in the past two but way more inches. I'm at 190 lbs but in mostly size 16s. I was NOT in that size at this weight on the way up. Plus, I'm very much on Dr. R's weight loss chart schedule, even a bit ahead at this point. From everything I've heard, I really think from month 6 - 12 its a lot about inches, versus weight. Then it seems like everyone has another weight loss push in about the 13th month. So hang in there girl. Your doing great!! in Atlanta MGB 10/12/00 275/190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
