I am 5'8" (although my surgeon's office keeps listing me at 5'6" (annoying) and I was 398 on surgery day 10/8, I'm now down to 300 (98lbs lost and more to go) .....anything is possible. If you work hard, anything is possible.

I started at 352 and am currently in the 240's (242 this morning). My ultimate goal is 190, I'm 5'8 if that helps.

I was 404 and had surgery on January 25th. Now I'm down 75 pounds. Yeah!!!

At the beginning of my journey, I wondered if others were as heavy as me. I really needed to be inspired by other people like me and wondered how long it would be before I'd lose a big chunk of weight. These days, I am losing about 2 pounds a week and a little disappointed its not more.

It took me five years to make up my mind to actually take the steps toward a healthier life. I'm thankful to be losing and happy, I went ahead and had the surgery.

Just take one day at a time and you will be fine. I wish you much success.

You are definetely not alone! My surgeon also suggested bypass as an option for me.

At 5' 4" my highest weight was 380 at time of consultation and I couldn't beleive the scale! Something had to be done...

My sleeve was done on 04/30/13 and I am currently sitting at 347 and have been for over a week :blink:

      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.
