Would love to chat with someone who has list 200 plus pounds to lose or has lost 200 plus pounds

Hello, good topic here. I was sleeved on July 25. I started my work on this on March 1 and was 455 pounds. Lost 80 pounds from march 1 to July 25. Have lost 30 pounds since July 25. So that is a total of 110 pounds. I probably need to lose another 175 pounds or so, which is why I worked do hard at losing prior to the surgery. Getting 100 or so pounds off prior to the surgery really helps you believe that you can make it to the ultimate goal weight.

You can message me anytime to discuss what you are going through and we can compare notes. I am about 3 weeks out and it is sort of shocking that I am not hungry. I have been on Protein Shakes and liquid drinks for three weeks now, so I expected to be really hungry.

Best wishes and congratulations to all of you for taking charge of this part of your life.

Hi all. My starting weight is 387. I am 6 days post-op and I'm down 21lbs. I hope it keeps coming off like this.

High weight was 370. Lost 30lbs on a stupid low fat diet, then stalled for two years. Switched to a ketogenic diet, felt awesome, lost 50lbs then stalled for a year. Just got sleeved weighing 290. Doctors goal is 170 which will put me at 200lbs gone.

I'm a newbie, so no expert by any means. But I asked my Dr this same question last week. I had surgery on 6-11, and started out at 366. I have 216 to lose. I am 9 weeks and have lost 53 pounds so far. I asked my dr if its realistic to get to my goal weight of 150. Because most people only lose 60-70% of their excess weight with the sleeve, can I really get all the way to my goal. He said absolutely, it just depends on how hard you work at it. Its all about how you stick to it long term. Its easy to lose at first, but maintaining it over a long period of time is the tough part. He said the key is to making the changes into habits. He said the 3 top things that he sees in people who make it to goal are to make exercise a daily routine consistently for the rest of their life, sticking with a healthy diet long term, and sticking to the high protein/low carb/no sugar. It can be done, you just need to do it.
