I started out at 427 on the day of surgery 5/24/12. By 3 months out, last week, I was down 100 lbs. My surgeon fully expects me to lose between 200 and 220 lbs. Just stay strong through the plateaus. Here are my before and after pictures as of last week. It can be done!

I use my fitness pal but since I don't eat much its hard to track. But that weight one is great.

Thanks! :)

Surgery 7/25/12

It's good for tracking Protein and calorie.

My highest weight in 9/10 was 406 [-_-] I tried weight watchers.... Got down to 380 and with work, life just kinda lingered there... I met with my Surg in 12/10.... Because of a job promotion everything came to a screeching halt because of the traineeship... Remet with dr the summer of 2012 & scheduled my surg for 1/29/13!!! At day of preop appt I was 378.9... I had to do a 2 week preop diet and weighed in at 358.7 on surgery date .... I gained 7 lbs of Water at hospital... Today I am 8 days post and weighed in @ 346.7!!!!! So after all that..... (Sorry but thanks for keeping up) I also have nearly 200 to lose!!!!

I am 6 months post op. Although i didnt make it to the 400 mark i was pretty close. At my heaviest i was 376 today i am 265. I lost over 100lbs. Im very proud of what i have accomplished so far and i know i will continue looseing. As long as you are eating right, working out, you will loose the weight. I try not to think about the numbers on the scale because it makes you obsessed. Its amazing how quickly i lost 100 lbs, because i weigh myself once a month and i did not notice the rapid weight loss. My advice to everyone on here is to not concentrate on the scale as much, manage what you eat, excerise, live your life, try new activities, become more active and before you know it you will accomplish your goal weight.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
