Ok I have surgery may 29 and im in a wedding sept 13. Im 27/28 & a bmi of 45. 270lbs and 5'5ish. My problem is I already had to but the bridesmaid dress. Im a size 24 now and I had to guess and I bought a size 18. Am I in big trouble or should I be ok? Please help I need ur feed back results. I have 3.5 months to lose it.

I started in January at 299 pounds I completed my 3 month Preop in April and when I was sleeved May 14th I weighed 250 pounds. I was size 24 in the beginning and I'm fitting in size 18/20 so I don't think it's unreasonable to have that as a goal. Best wishes and good luck!

If I were a betting man I'd wager on you being about 200lbs in mid September.

I started in a size 22/24 as well (at 5'4'' and 260ish) and after 3.5 months I was probably in a 16... so in the bridesmaid dress world an 18 was probably a really good guess. They can take it in or let is out to a certain extent... you should be fine!! It will be exciting to wear that dress when you are down a bunch of weight!

3.5 months out I went from a TIGHT 22 to 18. I think you did good on your estimate. It may even be too big!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
