My stats were very similiar if not the same. I was sleeved on jan 22nd @273lbs this morning @205.5 yes it has not been 5 months and I am down almost 70lbs it's and I will be 49 this year so yes you can do it I don't beleive in the charts because I have always had big bones so at @150-170 I look like a crackhead...LOL!!! my body has a mind of its own I don't exercise as much as I would like to and I don't eat all the right foods but I am still loosing. I do have a physical job so that may help in burning calories and I must admit I have to force myself to eat sometimes.... if you follow the post op and get back to exercising I think it will happen for you sooner than you think... good luck!!!!!!!

Brandyyyyyy just stop it already!!!!!! look in the mirror at that beautiful person and remember everything you had to do to get to this point . I was the same way I was sleeved on January 22nd and came home and said WTF!!! you don't want to know what happen to me the minute I was released. when I finally got home I asked myself what in the world did I do to myself. Everyday it got better and better just follow the post op diet as close as you can and you will be fine...... trust me it was worth it in a couple of weeks you will see the weight coming off and ask yourself what was all the fussin for...LOL!!!!! I am down 70lbs since surgery didn't think I would loose 20lb because my weight was going up and down so much but now I feel and look amazing... be patient chill and let it happen.... I know this sounds harsh but buck up.. you can do it... I am so in your corner..... go gurl!!!!!

I know what you are going through I had this problem and it was terrible my doctor said magnesium citrate... it worked very well. It takes a few hours to work but it will definately get the job done.. you can get it from cvs be sure to read the directions. good luck

Good for you and Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
