Hi There so glad to hear your journey has gone well. I am 5'5 and 209 pounds but started at 227 pounds. I have just started my second week of Pre-op diet and surgery is on 6/30/22. I am so confused and scared to lose too much weight after surgery. I would love to get to 140-150 pounds but feel any more than that would be too much. I am going back and forth in my head if this is even the right thing to do. I do not have a thyroid due to cancer and this is what has caused me to gain all this weight. I will be having my surgery in Palm Springs.
