Anyone start around 285 and 5'4



Recommended Posts

I know that we all lose differently. I'm just curious to see how much was lost by those around the same size as me. My highest was 299 currently 285. Pre op starts on June 16. Surgery June 23. I have found this forum very helpful during my journey.

I am 5'4 and my surgery weight was 284. I lost 55 lbs prior to surgery on my 6 month supervised diet and 2 week preop. Down just about 130 lbs in the year since surgery and have about 16 lbs to go to reach my goal.

I had my surgery, sleeve, on June 4th. At my highest I was 297lbs. I am 5'4" and at the one week liquid pre- op diet I was 283 lbs. I had my monthly cylce during my liquid pre-op diet and lost 7.1 lbs. Surgery day I weighed 275.8. Today I am down to 265.8 lbs. I would love for it to be faster but I am very happy with my progress. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in a long time. I feel lighter. My goal is to be between 135 and 150. It will take me a long time but I know it took me a lifetime to put the weight on. My husband had the sleeve one year and four months ago and has lost about 150lbs. He is the greatest support and example to me that it can be done!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
