I am hoping to get to the 170s as my stable weight. I started at 426 and was able to lose about 50 with the high Protein diet over 5 months. I hope your surgery went well.

I'm wondering the same. I'm at 420 lbs and one week re-op. Next Friday at this time I'll (hopefully) be recovering from a successful SADI-s procedure.
I have to admit, that in all of the groups I've joined, hardly anyone has started off as large as I am. Finding success stories for people my size has been discouraging....most people started off much lighter than me. It would be so encouraging to hear more stories of people who started off with their surgery weight in the 400's.
Personally, I don't expect to get as low as 140-160 lbs. I'll be happy with 200 lbs, honestly!
Anyhooo...just want to ask what the OP asked...some stories from super fats who have taken this journey.

This recipe will change your life in terms of getting your pizza fix in, while going low-carb and Protein packed. I made this many time while I was pre-op and wanting pizza.

I haven't made it since surgery, but I also stuck to a very slow return to normal food. It will happen soon, though. I also highly recommend the Protein Pizza Crusts that @Uomograsso posted. Those have been a godsend!

So, my Sleeve surgery was 9:45 am on 2/2/2021. Between the pre-op diet that I started 3 days early on 1/23 and this morning, I have lost 9 lbs.! Even having not pooped and holding fluid/swelling, I am down 3.6 lbs since Tuesday, 2/2. I am definitely hopeful that I will finally be able to reach a healthy weight for the first time in decades!! Best of luck to all of you, too!
