354 was the number as of May 9th. Today I am proud to say I am already at 323.4!

There are a lot of us who got pretty high before starting out journeys. Best of luck as you begin yours.

You are definitely not alone. I know when I first came here it seemed I was one of the biggest ones, but there are other 'heavy weights'

My highest recorded weight was 379, though I know I was bigger it just wasn't documented.

Today 6 months post op I'm down to 280. Basically 100 pounds down. I hadn't been under 300 in SO long, it's amazing to finally be here.

You can do it!

100 lbs in 6 months is great, I certainly hope I will be down that much in 6 months or less!! I really feel like if I can drop 50+ lbs pretty quickly it will really help with everything, especially exercise and chasing my kids around! I'm having such exciting feelings and I want to share this excitement but I get a lot of negativity from friends and family! I wish they would be more positive about it but all I hear is well I hope you can do it, well I hope it works for you and you don't gain it all back plus some??? Where does this come from, it's like they don't want me to loose the weight! Sorry for the venting, I know this should be positive on here!!! All I know is I'm gonna hold my head high and show them I CAN do it!!!

Wow that's great. Do you do any special exercises?

I bought a stationary bike and at first I rode for 5 minutes and it was all I could do... today I can easily ride 30 minutes on a high resistance. My knees are shot so walking isn't easy. I can say that my walking has improved tremendously. I weighed at the Dr. this week and am down to 378. Most would cringe at that, I am thrilled to be on this side of 400 and going down! Sleeve Surgery is the best thing I have done for myself! I feel so much better!!!

      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.
