The 200+ to lose group: anyone around?

[bloreorbust 286]

I'm really curious what others are experiencing so far in their journey for this weight group. Anyone care to share?

For me, even though I am nearing 100lbs lost, there is still a long way to go and I have a hard time imagining ever being at goal. I started out at my highest being 406, and my goal is to get to 175. I find I stall every 10lbs or so. Anyone else?

Hello. I just sent you a personal message as well as commenting here. I have been stuck for one week and sitting between 274-276. It's driving me nuts! I am 4 almost 5 weeks out from surgery (Dec 17th). Dr. M from SWLS also did my surgery.

Stalls are the worst! I'm unfortunately a big time staller. I stopped for about 2 weeks when I was 10 days out of surgery, then after that one broke I lost for 3 weeks and then stalled for 5 weeks! It sucks, but at least we can be certain we will always make it through them. This surgery has definitively put the hope in me to persevere through those times.

Hello everyone. I am still preop. My surgery date is 2/24/14. So excited and a bit nervous. Started my preop diet yesterday. I am hungry but I will manage. 28 more days and then one day of Clear liquids. I am hoping to get my bmi as low as possible so that my surgery is safer. Starting it was about 61.

I started this journey back in August at 330+ pounds, I am lucky to be 5"-2" and have set my first goal weight at 160. My ideal would be to get into a normal BMI range and I think for my height it is 125-135. I don't even know if this is possible. I have pretty much struggled all my life with my weight and the past five or so years I have packed on a good 100 extra pounds. I just really want to be healthy and have be able to see my old face in the mirror. I don't like looking at myself anymore because there is a stranger in the mirror.

My brother took a picture of me early last year. I saw it and about chocked. Goodness it was bad. I knew I was a big girl but that was an eyeopener for me. It was pretty much the catalyst that has put me on this journey. For that I am thankful. You are all an inspiration to me and knowing that you have accomplished losing a substantial amount of weight it gives me hope.

I wish everyone well and great success.

At my highest I was 385lbs. I was 347 on the day of surgery (11/4/13). I was just weighed today at the docs office and weighed 295lbs. That's down 90lbs from my highest. I still have just over 100lbs to go though. Long journey ahead but I've come a long way too.

I started my 6mo bypass program on April 28th weighing 415.... my surgery was November 27th 2013 and i weighed 366... and this morning I weighed in at 320lbs... for a total loss of 120lbs and I'm halfway to my goal....

Well I started this journey in at 480 and I am currently 459 my surgery date is 021814. I am currently on day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet and so far it hasn't been that bad. I want to wish every one good luck and to find out what type of exercise you are able to do so far.

I started walking at the mall. I am not comfortable going to a gym yet and I don't think I can really do much but walk now anyways. I started walking for 30 minutes at a pretty slow pace. Now I am up to around 60 minutes at a bit faster pace. I have been doing this for about a month. I try to get there at least 3 days a week. I am lucky to have the mall close by. I live in Washington so it is mostly wet outside and I am not that much of a trooper.
