Right now, I have a week before my first pre-op appointment where I meet with the nutritionist and nurses, get my bloodwork and all my first measurements in. Even then I'll have to do 6 months supervised weight loss before they can schedule surgery, so keep that in mind with this!

I am 5'3", weigh 335, and I wear a 22/24-26/28 on top, 26 on bottom, basically a 4x.

Where do you stand?

No matter where you are on your journey, 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.

HW: 263

DOS: 232

CW: 137

I do still notice changes to my shape even though my weight has been stable for 6 months. I would like to lean out more to get to 130 lbs by April 2015. We'll see.

I'm 43, was a size 16, 201 lbs. I'm short at 5'1.

I'm a different kind of sleeve patient because I wasn't very high on the bmi scale but I am borderline diabetic, have GERD terribly and insomnia due to weight.

I won't have surgery until Oct 23rd but my stats right now are as follows....

Ht 5'6

HW 256

CW 234 size 16 jeans that I can slide off without unbuttoning, or size L yoga, sweats, or other slip on pants. Tops are either a L or XL.

Everyone is different. It depends a lot on height and each individual's build or body type. I wear a size 16 jeans because my thighs and butt are too big for the size 14 my waist would prefer. If I wear the 14 I end up with nasty plumber's crack whenever I bend or sit down. Lol!

      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.
