Well now I'M bummed. I'm 4 months post op and have lost only 56 lbs!! I am in a size 14 now. Still very happy.
I walk and lift weights so I don't get the saggy skin. I think that I'm gaining muscle and that weighs more than fat so maybe thats the reason for less weight loss.
As for a stand still in loss. I went three weeks without losing anything but it is normal. I reached a size I was for years and the body just gets stuck there for a while.
I had to increase my excercise to break the barrier. It really helped.
Good luck!!

I am 6.5 months and have lost about 65. Many things affect the rate at which we lose. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and started at about 250, which slows weight loss. THe more you weigh, the more you lose. I was a bit disappointed at my weightloss, but I have done from a size 22 to a loose 16 and if I had not had the surgery, I would not have lost an once. Good luck to all. Lorraine

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
