If you are tall please share your experience with WSL because bigger and frames just aren't the same as petite and average frames. My lean mass alone is higher than a lot of peoples goal weight that i read about, ~130lb.

Please share with us your height, goal weight and progress. Thanks

Well I was a hair under 6 feet in my youth, bariatric surgeon tells me between menopausal settling, my vertebrae getting less fat and the strain of b lugging around over 300 pounds on my spine, I am now 5foot 8,5 inches. I have heard of,people who grew a inch in measurement, maybe when less weight they stood up straighter? 😝Anyway I am what i am and that better be GOOD ENOUGH!

5'9”
Surgery Date: 9/27/17
Start Weight: 273
Current Weight: 173
Dr’s Goal: 170
My Goal: 165-173
Just as when I was heavier, people think I weigh a lot less than I actually do. They also assume my clothing size is in single digits, but I actually wear a size 12.
I’d like to lose a little more weight (8-10 pounds) and then start doing resistance training to gain that amount back in lean muscle.

surgery date:not scheduled yet

start weight/ current weight: 270

goal weight: 160 (Dr says 200, but I can do better. I’ve been as low as 150 and I’m currently at my highest weight, and I was happy at 160/165 way back when)

      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.
