I am 5 foot 2 inches and 66 years old. I do Water aerobics 3 times a week and try and walk in between....but have a 5 K in 2 weeks so have to get out walking. Anyway, my surgeon set my weight based on BMI (I think). Will see when I go for my 9 month check up in August what they say. Have upped my Protein since my 3 month checkup so that helps!!

I'm 5' so I looked it up and I'm out of obese and now in the overweight category lol. I guess I'm supposed to weigh 125# and under to be in the normal range. Ugh idk about that though. I just don't want to look too skinny! Lol never thought I would have that problem:-)

I'm 4'11". My doctors (PCP and surgeon) told me 130. He said when you are as small as I am height wise with my build- I'm all boobs and hips/butt- 130 would be adequate. My best friend is 5'1 weighs 133 and is in amazing shape- there is nothing about her that is overweight. She looks amazing and wears a size 2 or 4.

I've been following this thread for the past 8 months since surgery, but never made time to post before now. It's been a whirlwind, but I'm thrilled with my results to-date.

Highest weight: 333.4

Surgery weight: 290.0

Current weight: 232.5

I've really noticed over the past few months that I'm craving primarily liquid -- eating something rarely ever sounds appealing. I get full after about 3-4 bites of anything, so I guess it just feels like a waste of effort ;-) Anyone else having this kind of experience? What are your go-to foods that've helped you stay on track and still get your nutritional needs met?

Thank-you so much. To be perfectly honest I have some perks which have allowed me have a less stressful process. I think it's kinda depends on each persons body.

well yes, the chef and trainer help

That's kind of my plan. I'm in a size 10 right now and I need to tone up a bit more- other than my belly that isn't going anywhere is be decently happy with my body. I'd like to be a 4-6 but maybe not. We shall see :)

I'm in a 13/14 still but I carry so much weight in my belly. I don't see myself in a smaller size until I get plastic sx. Sucks:-(

I'm in for sx, too- our goal is trying for another kiddo next year some time and I will be having boobs and tummy done after that. I'm not sure I will see many smaller sizes until I have surgery either- stupid belly!!

Same here.... Definitely see a boob job and Tummy Tuck in my near future. If I could get rid of this stupid apron I'm sure I could be in a smaller size!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
