Anybody Lose 200+ Pounds

[Liz 0]

Hello my name is Lindsey. !'m 20 and i weigh 400 pounds. My goal weight is about 150 to 170. I just wanted to know if anyone lost 200+ pounds and how long it took. excess skin issue? shoe size? bras size? complications? preop conditions? post op results.

I would really like to see a before after picture

Pre surgery I was 405lb, now I'm 177lb. If it happens for you it will take some getting used to lol. I had to find a new center of balance & get used to no beinng able to "put my weight into it" like pushing someone's stalled car out of traffic...

Good luck! )

My doctor says it seems like men loose more, or faster only due to them being taller, biggest tip us to stay away from sugar drinks , and you would be suprised how many calories are in mixed alchol drinks. If you have any questions just ask

I am 24 and 380 lbs. I hear the younger you are the more skin and elasticity will help us out and working out to prevent flabbiness. When is your surgery

Just take it slow bro, you have your whole life ahead of you for that piece of steak!!! Don't rush through the stages. I ate split pea Soup 3 times a day for 2 months, mostly due to my taste buds being so wacky. Any questions just ask! I wish I knew of this app when I was going through it! Good luck bro!
