I'm 6' and my HW was 330. It has been 8 months since my surgery and I am at 195 and a size 10/12. My doctor and I have set a goal of 180. My quality of life is so much better now and I am perfectly happy with my weight loss so far. I am going to continue the new healthy habits I have formed and take it from there! Good luck to all and happy holidays!

5'8 started at 299 now 158 my lowest weight 2yrs out next month

I hear you! One of my goals was to climb diamond head.. I was terrified I would be huffing and puffing and not make it up.. We were first to the top in our tour group! So proud of myself!  

Having a blast!!!

I am so excited for you! Congratulations! I am headed for Hawaii in February and wondering what size I will be then as well. I just had my surgery on 9/29 and I am down 59 lbs but I have been in a stall for a week now. Hoping that passes soon.
I hope you have a fabulous time and Happy Anniversary! Way to go!

That's so exciting! With a new you and Hawaii..... Have a fantastic time!!

One of my goals is to get up on a surfboard (hence my forum profile name). I've been to Hawaii twice. Once after losing a significant amount of weight on Medifast years ago and once at my highest weight when I couldn't even walk on the beach.
I can't wait to return for a third trip.
You look like you are having a blast!

You look wonderful and enjoy your trip ????????

So excited we leave tomorrow morning for Oahu! My hubby and I are going for our 24th anniversary and packing my suitcase I was giddy with excitement! I tried on all my "dream" dresses (I bought 10 dresses a year ago hoping one day I could wear them. All a size 8) and I am going to toot my own horn here but I look fantastic lmao! My hubby is gonna freak when he sees me in them. I am 12 pounds from goal. Hoping I lose an inch to fit in my "dream" New Year's Eve dress I bought lol. I am so happy I revised from band to bypass! (I was successful with the band-lost 120 but was about 20 pounds heavier than I am now and could never get below that- it eroded so revised to bypass) I am 6 months out from my revision and 70 down (had to gain 50 to be eligible for the bypass ) have a wonderful day everyone and happy December!

Thanks! I have been tracking everyday. The only thing that has changed for me is that I am more aggressively exercising. My husband and son thought maybe I was gaining a bit of muscle and that weighs more. Not sure but the good news is I don't usually get hung up on this stuff and my eating habits are right on target so I figure it will work itself out. Have a great time and take lots of pics in your new clothes!

Shave everything every day. Easy to maintain.. It only takes me 2 seconds

I had mine in 2009 I kept sun off of it for 2 years and it's barely visible.. I am laying down in the pic.

I am 5'8" HW 305 CW 186 my lowest weight was 155 my goal weight is a normal bmi which is 164.
Picture on right is when I was 193.

Yikes I should have read all the comments.. Yummy, I too had problems with Hair loss (started taking extra Biotin dissolvable and bought biotin Shampoo and conditioner really has helped) I also had bathroom issues but started taking a capful of Miralax every day and bought a squatty potty.. That solved my issues. As for hunger are you doing a Protein Shake? ! I find if I have one for Breakfast every day it really sustains me. I stick to just Protein and veg for lunch and dinner. I stay away from carbs because they make me feel yucky. Also I drink minimum 60 ounces of Water a day. Loss of hair, bowel issues and hunger all can be results of not enough protein and fluids.. Hope you get better ASAP!

I am 4 months out down 57 and would do it again and again. I feel amazing. Honestly to me any complications are better than living with the morbid obesity hanging over my head. I would have definitely died from some obesity related disease. I am 25 pounds from my normal bmi and loving life.

I had rny and I wouldn't even consider the sleeve.. Rny has been a tried and true wls. I had the lapband and after 5 years it failed me.. I was done doing "new" wls. I wanted tried and true and I'm so glad I did!
