Here’s an overview of my progress so far:
| Milestone | Date | Metric | Imperial | BMI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starting Weight | 27th July 2020 | 174.8 kg | 27 st 7 lbs | 49.5 |
| Weight on Day of Surgery | 27th August 2020 | 163.7 kg | 25 st 11 lbs | 46.3 |
| Current Weight | 15th September 2021 | 123.1 kg | 19 st 5 lbs | 34.8 |
In the 55 weeks since surgery I have lost 40.6 kg in weight (6 st 6 lbs).
Progress to my goal
My weight loss goal is get down to 103.5 kg (16 st 4 lbs), which would be a loss of 60.2 kg since my surgery.
Why this goal? It would give me a BMI of around 29, which would still make me overweight, but out of the obese range. This amount of weight loss is consistent with expectations from bariatric specialists, that gastric bypass patients on average lose around 70% percent of their excess body weight.
I am now 67.4% towards my goal
