Hi anybody out there start this journey over 300 lbs? I see post from people in the 200 lb range but none from 300 lbs. On the day I was sleeved, I weighted 363 lbs now I am 4 weeks out and weight 327. How long did it take to get out of the 300s?

Congrats on your loss so far!!! I started at just over 300 at the weight of 316 on the day I went in for surgery and I am 2 and a half months out and am down to 247. I know you are ready to get out of the 300 I was feeling the same way at 316, but just keep up the good work and the weight will follow you will be in the 200s in not time best of luck to you :)

I started at 351--was sleeved on 8/13 and weighed in today at 297. I stared at the scale for what felt like 5 minutes. I haven't been in the 200s for years and years and years. It was a glorious feeling.

My starting weight (also my highest ever) was 380.5. As of this morning, I'm 353.5 but I haven't been sleeved yet. I've lost 28lbs on my pre-op diet. My doctor is requiring a 38lb loss so I've got 10 to go but it's coming off quick.

I'm being sleeved on 11/4.

At my first consult I was 345 in July. At my appt before starting my 2wk pre op, I was 335. I gained about 10 lbs after my pre op appt because I ate stuff that I would miss or couldn't have for a while. The day of surgery, 9/29/14, I weighed 324. I am currently at 311, and I cannot wait to hit 299. I have no idea when the last time I was under 300. If I had to guess it would be 2003 or so. I'm very much looking forward to see where I go from here. My heaviest ever was 375 and that was last fall.

Hi there!

I am also part of the 300 crew lol At consultation I was at my highest weight of 369, surgery day I weighed in at 321. I am already almost 3 weeks post op and have only lost 10 pounds which is slightly discouraging, but I am hoping to change that!

@@Idahospud, don't be disappointed. Look at where you are at now compared to back then. Everyone loses at different rates, hang in there it will happen.

315 at consult. Gorged on foods I'd miss so I was 320 when I started pre op. I dropped to 301 on surgery day which was 10/10. I was 294 this a.m., so down 7 lbs in about a week. A little annoyed at that. I know, I know-better than nothing/it'll get better. Still......

My highest weight was 423# about 11 years ago, I was 360# 1st consult visit in April. I now am 320# so I lost 100# before surgery and 40# of that since I started the Surgical Journey. I will be sleeved on Monday October 20th. Only God knows were I will end up, but I am convinced I will be more healthy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
