[PiggyPantsPaige 10]

I'm newly sleeved & wondering how much others have lost being around 240ish! How long has it been? Workout regiment? Please share(:

Im 244.6. Started at 250 day of surgery 8/22/12. I guess I'm going to be a slow loser, but some loss is better than none. I also am 41 and do not have a thyroid, so I'm sure neither of those helps. I also don't have a workout regimen yet. Things are too crazy still. But will be implementing something very soon.

I weighed today and I am 238. I was 244. My surgery is September 21 in Mexico. I would like to get down to 135.

I had a two week preop then surgery July 7, two months out and went from 250 to 218 and at a stand still, but very happy!

I started my pre-op diet at 244 lbs. My surgery day, 6/11/12, I was at 233 lbs roughly. I'm 12 weeks out now at sitting at about 190 lbs. While I need to start a strength training routine, I have just been walking most days of the week, at least a mile each day. I also do little things like park farther away from the doors at stores I go to, and walk the whole grocery store when shopping, etc. I do want to/plan to kick up my workouts a bit more too, when I finish getting over this cold.

No point for surgery if you are 240 lbs.

Not true. When people are battling co-morbities along with their weight, the need is there. Everyone has their own struggles. I have seen people on here that were under 200 and had vsg

Start April 1st---257 Surgery day May 1st---240. & today 180....I haven't exercised much. I can eat most everything...no chicken or beef! Doesn't sit well! I feel like I've done well...I dont get hungry...my goal is 160 so 20 more lbs...second goal is my high school weight of 139...it's been four and a half months since surgery...and down 60 lbs and 77 since preop! Good luck!

I was 240 at the start. But, you're most likely looking for women who were/are 240.

That's rude. I'm around that weight and I'm MORBIDLY OBESE. Yea I'm short but whatever. We all need help.... it doesn't matter if you only need to lose 20 lbs or 2000 lbs, we shouldn't judge.

[mrsdaugherty 28]

I am 5ft 3in and 32 yrs old. I weighed 246 on my surgery date of May 18th. I have most 52 pounds and now weigh 194. I have 3 kids and don't excercise much. I walk when I get a chance. Good luck!!

Sorry, i didn't Mean to be rude, just sayin 240 LBS isn't that big, pre op i was about 315 lbs,i had the surgery because i can't control my self with food and i've tried many diets none worked,i did it at 15 now i'm 16, sorry for my grammar and english .

[Tia Noel 56]

I understand what you mean. I'm sorry if I came off rude as well. Its just that weight and numbers are so relative, when taken out of context, it may not seem like much.

Like 240 on a 6'0" man looks noooothing like 240 on a 5'4" woman.

[Randgalt 43]

I'm a 240 man - but I'm short, 5'6". I look FAT. But, now with my sleeve I'm on my way
