Where do you stand?

No matter where you are on your journey' date=' could you share some body stats? If not your current stats, then where you started?

I sometimes see people becoming discouraged if someone is losing faster, or someone who weighs the same as they do can wear a smaller size.

I think it will help to see that everyone is DIFFERENT, we all carry our weight differently, and height makes a difference. Muscle mass and gender make a HUGE difference.

Feel free to update as your size changes.[/quote']

Im 5'9 started at 371 now 349 surgery is 3/18

[sherrinita 12]

I'm 5'6" (I've shrunk and inch), started at 222 lbs (size 18) (had been up to 253/size22/24W) Now, 4 days post op, 2 days out of the hospital I am down to 211.4 lbs. Have no idea of size---still wearing as baggy as possible.

I think I also shrunk and inch because i was 5'7 now it says 5'6....sucks...lol

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

Well, I have shrunk since my previous update! I am at goal since February 2013. current:

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 158

Pant size: 8 (fitted, not stretchy)

Dress size: 10

Tops: Medium

I started out at 308 day of pre-op diet start; 300 day of surgery. My all time highest weight (in 2004) was 332.

At the time of my surgery I was stuffed into 26W wearing either 2x/3x depending on the top

So, the scale weighs me heavy but I am a big framed person so everyone around me tells me to stop right here since I am bony looking even weighing in the 150s. The attached photos are when I was about 5# over goal.

I hope you're not expecting a lot more than this in the long run - looking at your numbers, it looks like you've lose nearly a pound a day since your surgery! That's fantastic! Remember, this isn't a miracle, it's a tool - but your body can only do so much in a certain amount of time. you're doing great!

[laydlyke 5]

I am 31, 5'4 and currently weight 310lbs. I wear a size 24 (tight) pants. Some of my 24's I can't get in.

Should be having surgery before June 30th, although no date set. Currently going through pre-op appointments.

I was just a little discouraged this morning. Minor freak out. I know a pound a day is awesome!!! I honestly don't know what to expect. Thank you for your encouragement!!! It is really appreciated.
