I'm 5'2"

Highest weight 199

Surgery weight 193.5 on 8/31/12

Goal weight? Wherever the sleeve takes me, kitten! :D Will reevaluate when I hit 130

Most of my weight lost is in the waist, not enough in the butt & thighs :(

Not much saggy skin (knock on wood) except for my bat wings.

Slow loser, 1-2 pounds/week.

I'm 5'1" and started at 246 pound, size 22 pants, 2x tops.

I am now 150 pounds, and my daughter just gave me some size 6 skinny jeans that she though ran a little large. They fit! I wear either medium or small tops, I'm still a little more busty than I'd like.

Pants sizes are weird. In some I wear a 10, others an 8.

I am barely 5ft. Weighed 209, wore a size 18 pants, 1x top, now I am the same height I hope, 144 lbs, size 10 petite pants and medium/large petite tops. I no longer need a wide shoe. I have a larger goal weight than the average 5ft woman. I do carry a lot of muscle and am just 4 lbs from goal. Surgery was 12/28/11. I don't feel any different. I don't feel smaller.

Hi Iggy, we have about the same stats.... I am already hearing how "sickly" I look, how hollow my face is, how wrinkled I've become". When I was heavier, it was always, you're a pretty woman to bad you couldn't keep the weight off. Now "don't lose anymore weight".. Fat is a natural wrinkle filler, no fat, no filler. So now I save for the face lift. :-( . At 110 I'd be dead.. I want to stop at 140 as the Dr suggests.

Hi Iggy' date=' we have about the same stats.... I am already hearing how "sickly" I look, how hollow my face is, how wrinkled I've become". When I was heavier, it was always, you're a pretty woman to bad you couldn't keep the weight off. Now "don't lose anymore weight".. Fat is a natural wrinkle filler, no fat, no filler. So now I save for the face lift. :-( . At 110 I'd be dead.. I want to stop at 140 as the Dr suggests.[/quote']

So I have to ask...have you ever been 110? I actually have recently and maintained that weight healthily for over ten years when I was in my 30's and early 40's. I've been down as low as 95, which is a skiny version of me and hard to maintain, hence my choice of 110. My first doctor wanted me to make a goal of 130, which for my size is overweight. I am not NOT a tiny little petite thing even at 110. I have a medium to large bone frame size and my natural shape is more jlo than twiggy. I have boobs and a butt at 110 :) and I am muscular. Unless you are a body builder muscle does not need to equate to bulk...

I only say that because you say at 144 you don't feel any different....for me, at 145 I'm still fat. Technically I'm BMI "overweight" and physically I can see I am still overweight. At 145 I do not look sickly. Perhaps to those used to seeing my round jolly little face I look different, which maybe some one might equate to sickly because they don't know me, but I happen to know that I do look gaunt and sickly...at under 100lbs (which is still a safe weight according to BMI...just not one for me). I don't go by what people say as much as I go by how I feel and how I know I look naked. I'm still fat :P I have a belly and a butt that need to be shrunk. My legs are carrying extra weight as are my arms. I think it's great if you don't feel that way...but I just wonder, have you tried a lower weight in your body history? You might find it's kind of nice....

5'6" tall

Started at 336. May 2011

Surgery was 320. Nov 2011

Size 26/28 and 3-4x shirts

Today

5'6" tall. Lol.

Weight: 167

Size 10 or 10 petite (bought Talbot pants today in petites)

Size med-large tops.

Still have a hard time believing that I could be that size even looking in the mirror. Pick out clothes and just know that they will not fit and holy cow they do. It is a great feeling to really think of your self looking good in clothes not like a large blob. Good luck all.

Are guys allowed on this thread?

6'1"

Starting weight was 401. That was 6 months ago. Now I'm 254.

Weirdest number change for me....I started out wearing size 15 shoes (yes, I have big feet). Now I can easily wear 14. Without all that extra weight, my feet aren't as wide. But they probably aren't as long either because the weight surely pushes down on the arch to some degree, flattening it out and making your foot longer.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
