I'm 5'3" and was 55 at time of surgery. I believe my highest weight was over 300 in 2015 but I didn't get on scales then. Recorded HW 271.5. Day of Surgery - 246.9. As of today - 156. So from my highest weight - probably 150 pounds. From recorded high - 115. I'm about 20 months out. Because I'm of a certain age, I lost a bit slower, but I still have weight coming off. I now am working on building muscle mass and decreasing body fat. My body fat is about 31 percent right now and I'm shooting for 28.

Was anyone around 5'4 240lbs? How much weight did you lose and how long has it been since your surgery? What surgery did you have done? Just curious!

Hi. Pretty much the same. 5’4 and started at 230. Had my surgery January 15th. Currently down 71 lbs but have been on a stall for the past couple of weeks and really hoping it breaks this week! I try not to look at the scale but I can’t help it and those numbers really mess with me lol.

I had my VGS on May 16th, I am 5'3 and my HW231-SW205-CW192. The first two weeks after surgery I had lost 13 pounds. I'm back to work and feeling great. You will not regret your decision, this is a lifetime change and I couldn't be more satisfied with my results.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
