Sleevers over 300lbs?

[CrazyJaney 775]

HW 325. CW 311.1. Having a hard time trying to determine a goal weight. It's been so long since I've weighed a normal weight. At first I said 160. Then, after realizing I can be successful with a sleeve, probably beyond my wildest dreams, I'm going for 140. Anyone else having trouble figuring out how to determine goal????

Jen, I started at 308; lifetime high of 332. Just be careful you are not setting yourself up for disappointment. You will be very successful but don't get wrapped up too much with a specific weight.....your body will tell you the right weight when you get there. When you start out bigger you just have more weight - bones, blood vessels etc are bigger. You may not even know your bone structure size...a good goal weight will become clearer with time.

It's getting there-- I'm at 199-200 now bouncing-- started at 319!

Thank you both for some much needed inspiration!! I'm in the waiting for approval phase. Trying to get used to small portions, taking Vitamins, getting my head wrapped around it. You both look fabulous! I can't wait to look AND feel better.

Sorry it has been so long, it has taken me forever to figure out the android app for this site. Now I was able to find it today. I had RNY again Oct 31st, and was 282 lbs. A few months before that I worked my but off to try and lose as much as possible before surgery. My highest was 333 lbs. Today I am 241 lbs. So I still have 105 lbs to go, I am very happy with my progress!

I started at 335 day of surgery but when I began the process with my insurance company I was at 372 since surgery I am down 92 lbs and I am 7 months post op today

I love this thread! The day I started the two week pre-op diet I was 316 and now with just a few days to go until surgery, I'm down to 300. I'm really hoping to break into the 200s by Wednesday. At first the pre-op was really hard, but I get it now. It not only is shrinking my liver preparing it for surgery, but it's helped prepare me and give me the confidence I needed to know I can do this. I'm full of nervousness and excitement right now. Reading and viewing all these posts help boost my confidence and encourage me!

We have similar stats and I should get a date for late Feb or early March. We don't have to do a liquid preop diet (except for 2 days) but we do have to stick to a high Protein, tracking program to prove probable success. I sorta wish we had to do more days of liquid only for the reasons you said. I have lost 18 pre-op. I've tracked everything (even the fabulous dinner in a Japanese Steak House last night - ugh!) but I don't think life right now is ANYTHING like after sleeve will look like. Even eating small portions of Protein and tracking calories. My NUT just wants to see we can make good protein choices and that we can loose weight. My docs don't do the pre-op, liquid diet. Seems like most people here do. Kinda worries me that I will be in total shock. I am thinking I might do more than the 2 days that is required.

How exciting that you are so close! Best of luck to you!
