Lewanda, I am 6 Foot 4 and i started out at 540 pounds. i got down to 490 pounds on the day of surgery. I am 10 months out and weigh 338 pounds. i have about 60 more pounds to go. Losing the 200 pounds is definitely possible, i have lost just over 200 myself. Now loosing 100 pounds in 4 weeks is drastic and probably not healthy, but the larger you are the more you lose initially. my first 2 months i lost around 55 pounds. i do have loose skin and will probably need to have surgery to remove the extra skin. But im only 24 so i will wait at least 1 year to give my skin some time to retract before i have surgery.

I think maybe you might want to search this site a bit to find some tips for post-sleeve mushie foods that will maximize your loss. At first, it's super important to get in your Protein and your liquids, so rice and crackers might not be the best choices.... if you can tolerate them, great, but perhaps starting with some egg salad, scrambled egg, cottage cheese, refried Beans with melted cheese, etc...... that way, you're getting your Protein (which will fill you up and keep you from getting hungry) and not getting too many refined carbs, which can make it hard to stay away from sugar or other carby foods.
But yay! your sleeve seems pretty tolerant--that's a blessing! :-)
