Hello! I'm 30 something and 5'2". I started out at 215 (the heaviest I've ever been). My surgeon told me that I'd lose about 40 #'s in 2 months. But I hit every stall like you would a stop light. Here's a tip, please do not allow yourself to get constipated! That and heartburn have been my only issues throughout this entire process. So I probably would've hit that goal of 40 #'s sooner if it hadn't been for that. Good luck!
