Oh how depressing..... I'm older, shorter, and fatter! LOL ....so, no. hahaha

LOL, Dooter! I'm closer to your stats, except for the height!

Beth u still have that pic up. Lmfao

I'm pretty close to you on all of that, except my surgery is May 1!

I'm nowhere near your age or your height (lucky you!) but wanted to add my vet's advice.

Don't worry about how fast you'll lose the weight. I know, you want to know what to expect and you want to daydream about how you'll look on a particular day. We all do!

The reality is that it will happen when it does and you can't predict it. You might be a super fast loser or a slower one. Either way, you're going to be losing weight and no matter what you can make it to goal.

But I can say from watching the boards that you should have no problems reaching your goal weight.

I'm much shorter than you but was sleeved at 242 pounds and was in the 150s within 9-10 months after surgery.

Good luck!

GW - 150I'm 33, and we had surgery on the same day btw! I was sitting at 242 for a week, its been kinda slow. Then I cheated and had... coffee! Coffee did what it does for me (TMI) and well... I lost 7 lbs. LOL It'll come. Just be patient. My best friend is also similar stats but she is alittle over 2 months out and down almost 70 lbs, but she said it was slow at first.
