honestly i dont even pay attention to that i just know i have a lot to lose.

It depends of your own goal. I'm 32 BMI and I'm little, only 5.1. I want to be 110 to feel fabulous! But I'm doing this because of my heath and because I have multiple problems related being obese. To be healthy I need to be 132 ( I need to loose 36 pounds). I really want to be realistic about it, so I can accomplish my Heath Goal first

My preop BMI is 32. I'm 5'3" 185. Realistically speaking how much weight will I lose? Anyone else start with BMI 32? How much have you lost?

[elcee 3,342]

Approx 6 months. I maintained my low for 2 years and have regained over the last 12 - 18 months. Trying to lose those few kilo's now but it is so much harder than it was initially!

You can lose as much as you're committed to lose. It's all up to you how much weight you lose.

Hi Nikki, Funny we have the same stats. Im 5'3, preop was 182. I just had my surgery a week ago today, and so far I am down 11lbs. I weighed 171 this morning. My goal is about 130.

So I cant tell you long term, obviously, but I just wanted to chime in. Good Luck with everything!

Daisies,

I was banded May 9th, I also had plication. At my one week postop I was down to 179, so 6 lb loss.

My goal is 130 as well!

Hi, I started off a little higher then you guys, (199) which is off the chart high for me... I'm 5 days post op and @ 181....I'm so curious to see how low we can really go... My lowest adult weight that I can remember is 155, I set my goal to 137, why? Oh I don't know I like the numbers 3 & 7,lol! But I would LOVE to be smaller... I just can't imagine.. But here's to hoping!

[nikkidcas 18]

Hope you are feeling good. I'm now 2 weeks postop and feel really good. Getting hungrier, won't have my first fill until June 10th. Focusing on eating Protein and veggies.

each day gets better....but I'll be honest, it was a lot harder than I thought! I never know what I feel - hungry, gas, indigestion? I can't wait to feel 'normal'!! This weekend, Memorial Day - kinda sucks, everyone is cooking out and at the beach and I'm stuck on the couch!!

i also started around a 32 bmi- 152cm and about 75kg. i lost about 21kg over 5 months, then i started exercising and didn't lose more weight, but dropped a dress size or two. i'm gaining again, but it's because i'm expecting. i think after the birth it will be easy to get back down because i had no trouble maintaining before i got pregnant.
