I am not sure if you are asking me, but I will tell you anyway! My highest weight was 260lbs, my surgery weight was 220.5lbs. From my surgery I lost almost 83 lbs and it took me 18 months. Slow and steady wins the race I guess! I have been pretty stable now for about 8 months.

Hi ladies I am new to this and my surgery is scheduled for 2/26/13. I am amazed at your progress and think you all look beautiful!!! You r truly an inspiration to me. I am 5'6" and about 216 or so, medium frame. I know everyone is different, but I am curious to hear your input of what my goal weight should be? My doc told me 125 lbs but that seems crazy low for my height....would love to get some input

Wow, that seems extreme! I am barely 5'3" and I now weigh about 138lbs and I am just within the normal BMI for my height. With your height, that seems on the lower end of the scale, like he just grabbed a number out of the air. Go by how YOU feel and the way your clothes fit. Even thought I am at the higher end for my height, I only wear a size 4 or 6 depending on the brand.

My doctor said at 5' 3" he wanted me at 138. And I have a small frame. I was not happy there and am at 127 now and want to get to at least 124. He said that was fine as long as i am still fine and my bloodwork and everything was on track!

Hi -- your surgery will be almost exactly two years after mine was, here's to success! I'm also just over 5'6 and I weigh now just under 150-ish (about 68kg), which for me is a good weight to be at. I'm in normal BMI and wear size 6-8. There is not a ton of fat left on me for sure! And not to be a cliche, but I'm pretty large-boned, so I think to get much lower would be difficult and pointless. Just my .02. Best of luck!

Congrats! I am also 5'6" and I'm down to 143 lbs. We have similar stats and I love reading your posts.....I use to think that I was large boned but discovered that I'm actually medium boned....Keep it up ladies and gentlemen. We are all success stories..... :)

My first LBD since surgery June 2012. I've lost 150 total, 85 since surgery. I started at a size 28 (probably a 30 but I wouldn't let myself admit it). I bought this dress yesterday... size 14/16!!! It's just a generous fit because the jeans I bought yesterday are an 18. I still have a long way to go but I felt hot last night!

And my LBD from NYE last year.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
