Any Gastric Sleevers 300 pounds or less before surgery lose 100 pounds afterwards?

[FabBy55 46]

I am 5’4”. Starting weight was 247. No long pre-op diet. I was sleeved in late August 2017. So I am 9 1/2 months out and down 95 pounds. I feel very confident I will lose over 100 pounds by the one year mark. I do walk a couple of days a week and also do 30 minute strength training twice a week with a trainer. I have never followed a very strict plan but do monitor my macros (protein, carbs and calories) several days a week to make sure I am on track. I also only drink alcohol on the weekends, usually just one night. Just remember the main objective is to be healthy so eat accordingly. Follow the two main rules of Protein first (it fills you up fast!) and no liquids before and after meals and you will be successful.

Thanks for sharing, walking 2 days a week and bike riding 2 days a week is about all I can do with some strength training on my total gym so its good to know that someone can lose over 100 pounds with that type of regimen. I have never been one to live in a gym. I prefer to enjoy outdoors walking or bike riding.

I surgery weight was just under 280 pounds. If I can make it to 180 pounds I'll be super pleased. But realistically I think its going to be tough for me to get under 200 pounds (at least without plastic surgery to remove a few pounds of skin from my middle). I'm currently 212 pounds and stalls are getting more frequent and longer.

I am nut a mere RnY candidate but I hope to,be,here with a big smile and having earned bragging rights in a year to 18 months. Please save me a space,with a greatly,diminished square area!

I'm getting close to the 100 pound mark, but I have a feeling that if I hit it ill end up in the hospital.

I might have to wrap it up at 90

The second picture was one week before surgery 315lbs. And the first picture is now at 185lbs you can definitely lose the weight you just have to work for it
