I originally started at 350, That was the beginning of 2016. When I went in for surgery I was 260. Yes 90 lbs lost on my own. I know I can do it, but I cant keep it off. My goal realistically is 199 lbs. Unrealistic is 175 lbs. anything under 175 will not look good on me. I have wide, broad shoulders. I am built different. Wide hips. I am stuck at my current weight and I know I need to exercise. Thats my down fall.
There were 2 celebrations! When I was down 100 lbs, and just recently, the first time since 1999, that I am under a size 20 jean! Even my jeans made it to onederland! Lol

I’m 5’4 and my initial goal was 150. I’m 135 and at 23% bodyfat so I really shouldn’t lose any more as 23% is the bottom of the range for my age. So my goal is to maintain between 135 and 140.

I'm slated for a June possibly July surgery. 44 years old 5ft 8in. Highest and starting weight was 279 a month ago. Currently 272. Goal is to get healthy, off meds and relieve some of the issues with my back. Arthritis and disk issues so the weight puts a huge strain on it. If I can get rid of a significant part of the weight and get back into some kind of shape, build the muscle in my back again it would be heaven. Be able to walk more than 5 steps without pain. It's what I need!!!

I’m 5’2”, starting at 240ish pounds, with an ultimate goal weight of 130 :)

You and I are nearly identical. I'm 5'1", 246.6 and my goal is 130. I anticipate it would take me about a year to reach that goal, but I'm prepared for the journey!

      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.
