I've been overweight since I was a baby. In 2006 I was at my heaviest weight of 270, wearing 28 tops and 22/24 bottoms. In 2007-2008 I lost over 80 pounds. At the end of 2011 it started coming back quickly. By July 31, 2013, I was 261 pounds - almost back at my highest weight of 270. I refused to buy a bigger size or get any bigger. I was in 24/26 tops and 18w pants - I had to do this for me. I'm tired of the up and down. I'm looking forward to permanent weight loss. I am 4 weeks post op today. On August 13, 2013, I was 257 and was told to start the liquid diet in preparation for surgery August 21, 2013. I lost 12 pounds in 6 days!! Surgery weight was 245. Since surgery I've lost 16 more pounds so since July 31st 261 pounds to now September 18th 229 pounds (fully dressed) a total of 32 pounds in 8 weeks!!!
