3 months post op

[Cher123]

Hello everyone. I'm just 2 days away from my 3 months post op. I've lost 42 pounds now. I lost 20 pounds before surgery. Does it sound like I am losing enough weight so far. I still have 50 pounds to go. Any input would greatly be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Cher,

Congratulations on 42 pounds!!!

I'm sure you've heard it a lot but everyone looses at their own pace. Does the 42 include the 20 you lost before surgery? With only 50 pounds to go, you had less than 100 pounds to loose total so it makes since that you would loose a little slower than others with a lot more to loose. Do you mind if I ask how tall you are?

I am 4'11". I lost 20 pounds before surgery. I have lost a total of 62 pounds so far. My surgeon would like me to weigh around 130 pounds at my goal weight.

Wow, that's fabulous Cher, 62 pounds total? Great work.

I figured you were likely petite. You're doing great, keep doing what you're doing, you'll be to goal in no time.

Thank you. I try. Some days I have trouble eating. Just not hungry and other I don't have any trouble eating. I just take one day at a time

You're still so early on Cher. I would say it took me about to month 6 before I felt rooted in my "new normal". It probably takes a couple years before it actually all becomes second nature.
