Roux-en-McClanahan 79 Posted April 14, 2017 Is two years your timeline to reach goal? I'm hoping to get into onderland by the end of the year (I'm 320 now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black911 87 Posted April 14, 2017 I hope not!! I'm 5'2" @ 300lbs. I'm guestimating, if surgery goes as planned on May 25th, I anticipate a loss of at least 50lbs by birthday (Sep 11).I am sick.of this weight!!Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roux-en-McClanahan 79 Posted April 14, 2017 I suppose 5 lbs a week through the end of the year for me is a stretch goal, but I hope to be 210 by my birthday on December 19th. I'm tall at 5'9". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roux-en-McClanahan 79 Posted April 14, 2017 Good for you!I've considered surgery on and off for years, and I think I resisted in the past because I wasn't ready for the lifetime changes. My journey here was rather quick. My grandma passed away this summer and she struggled with her weight all her life. She actually reached goal right before she died of a stroke. Recently, my grandpa had a dream where she told him to give me the money for surgery, and he extended the generous offer. I feel like my weight loss will be in honor of her memory. 2 Rita48 and carlychloe2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
