I am so proud of myself. Gastric bypass has been a journey and still is. I went from 274lbs my highest to 130lbs...

Heading off to my daughters white coat ceremony and this is my OOTD.
I love wearing such fun colors and styles now.
It will almost be a shame when I lose more weight and these clothes no longer fit me

As of this morning I am officially in the normal BMI category! 123 is the top of my BMI range and I weigh 122.7 today! Yay me! Haven't been here in years!

It has been such an amazing journey
123 pounds gone forever!!!!

Hello all,
My bypass is planned for May 8th in Madrid, Spain.
Last night was the first time I started questioning my decision to do the surgery.
This thread just swiped all the doubts!
Congratulations to all of you for your achievements and thank you so much for sharing!

I’m 7 months post op from Gastric Bypass and I’ve lost 100lbs. Before surgery I lost 21lbs

Am I the only one who gets discouraged when I get weighed at the office and you're five pounds heavier because of the clothes?
I always weigh myself each morning when I get out of the shower.
Also an added benefit of catcalls from my wife when I do so.

I’ve lost over 130lbs, 14 months out from surgery and 15 months out from initial consult. I weigh less than I did when I was in high school. :-)

11 Months out 82 lbs stalls will happen from time to time .I was 217 now 136

First pic is from late June/early July around highest weight of 282.4. Second pic from today trying on clothes at 204.6. Pardon the weird face, that’s my “hmm should I get this?” face :)

I think my goal is to lose another 25-30 if I can :)

Thank you so much!
You definitely establish a new benchmark/standard on how to report weight loss!
And I am glad to see there are some fellow spreadsheet freaks in the forum.
I will have surgery on May 8th, and I promise I will be reporting based on "ms.sss" standard.
Cheers to all from Spain and thank you so much for sharing. I read almost each single of your comments and it gives a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

Actually, this is a better comparison. My best bud Nicnac found a picture of us ten years ago and put it along side the similar picture of us taken last weekend. They don't look so very different - I'm well chuffed!

First, the obligatory disclaimer: remember that everyone is different and will have different weight loss rates. Age, starting weight, genetics, height, complications all factor in to each person's weight loss rates.
Second, a thought: Instead of just total units lost, probably a more telling statistic would be maybe BMI (which factors in height), or Percentage of Total Body Weight Lost (but this doesn't take into account lean muscle changes...), or Percentage of Inches Lost in certain areas of body measurements (but everyone carries their weight differently...)
Lastly: Anyhoo, with that said, we are human after all, and we can't help but compare and be curious:
** Note that I am on the vertically-challenged side of 5' 1" **
Highest weight: 235.0 lbs (10-Oct-2018) BMI: 44.4 (morbidly obese)
Surgery weight: 223.2 lbs (24-Oct-2018)
Today's weight: 148.8 lbs (26-Mar-2019, 5 months + 2 days post op) BMI: 28.1 (overweight)
% of Body Weight Lost: 36.7% (-86.2 lbs)
% of inches lost chest: 25.0% (-12.0")
% of inches lost waist: 28.7% (-12.5")
% of inches lost hips: 22.2% (-11.0")
** Yes, I keep track of EVERYTHING. You should see my spreadsheet **

I had my surgery jan 22 2018, I am about to be 13 months out. (34year old, 5'7)
What a journey. Started at 402lbs, a weight I now can't believe I had. it's crazy and unreal. My skin DOES reminds me that "hey you had that weight" but I am trying to have less floppy skin I wish I worked on it before but it's fine. And maybe tmi but also working on my breasts so they are less in a sad shape.
I don't necessarily eat well and I probably eat less that I am supposed to but I am proud.
13 months ago i was at 323.4lbs, today I am at 187.8, sometimes i gained 1-4lbs, then i lose it back and lose some more. I only really had one plateau that lasted a month, i had some plateau that lasted a week or even two but after weight somewhat catched up, losing in general from 6lbs to 10-12lbs per month, I still got a few to lose to not be in "bmi overweight" but i am no longer in obesity. I am focusing more on my skin then my weight loss.
I wouldn't say surgery changed my life, but yes it improved it. I sometime see myself bigger then I actually am. I am still afraid to sit in booth thinking I won't fit... yet i fit with space to go. my shirt size went from like 3x to M or L.

Still a struggle healing, but the results are remarkable. 10 months yesterday; gastric bypass in Tijuana, Mexico. Started out size 24 at 279 lbs, now wear a size 8 weighting 141 lbs.
