June 27, 201214 yr I've seen a lot off people on here that were in the 200 range... Is there anyone that is between 300-400 that has lost a lot of weight? I just wanted to see the progress.
June 27, 201214 yr Hi, I was sleeved on June 7th. I started my liquid preop diet on May 24th at 314 lbs. I am almost 3 weeks out from surgery, but I've lost a total of 35 lbs so far including the weight lost on the preop diet. Sent from my SGH-T679 using VST
June 27, 201214 yr I've seen a lot off people on here that were in the 200 range... Is there anyone that is between 300-400 that has lost a lot of weight? I just wanted to see the progress. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I started at 436. Lost 48 preop. Sleeved June 6 and today weighed in at 352. Weight loss actually stopped for about a week at the two week postoperative stage. Lost nothing for a week then yesterday was down 3 lbs. I was cleared to eat whatever I want a couple of days ago. So far I get no more than 2-3 bites of anything and I fell stuffed. It subsides after a couple of hours and I usually have some kind of low cal snack like a popsicle. Go back to work Saturday and I'm kinda looking forward to the distraction. Three weeks has been along time sitting around thinking about my stomach and food all day
June 27, 201214 yr I had lapband surgery at about 385, give or take a few. Dropped down to around 215. I was back to about 350 when I had my sleeve (3 mos ago) and am now around 270-something. I've lost a lot of weight, but I still have a lot left to lose - about 100 lbs. So I'm progress, in the same way your first lap is progress toward a few miles.
June 27, 201214 yr Hey there! My highest weight was 337. A year later, I had surgery at 306. Currently, I'm 183. I'm 6'2", so even at that high weight, I'm in a normal BMI and normal weight. :-) Yay Sleevie!!
June 28, 201214 yr Hi there Tonileebre! As you can see below I am rocking my sleeve and going on 11 months. My High was 410 and today I am at 260. I am even thinking for my height and stature I may not have far to go. I just consulted a plastic surgeon and they said I have about 30 lbs of skin and "stuff" they will have to remove surgically. So that being said I'm really closer to 230 and my goal is 200. I will be posting new befores and nows after my photoshoot this weekend! Do it for you! Your worth it!

June 29, 201214 yr Start weight was 386 - down 100 lbs in 5 months and still dropping Sent from my iPhone using VST All of this makes me feel better I started at 420 now at 384 start,y liquid in a week and surgery 4th of August.....thanks everyone for sharing.....
June 29, 201214 yr 375# PLUS - like many fat people I refused to step on the scale. I do remember this figure of 375 from my docs office a few months before surgery and by britches go even tighter after that till I started the pre-op diet, so I may have been closer to 380#.
June 29, 201214 yr My highest weight ever was 360 lbs before surgery i weighed 350 lbs, I lost an overall of 150 lbs. Im out now 3 years and weigh anywhere between 200 - 215 lbs. I used to wear 32 Women's and now wear 16 or size L from 4XL. . . . oh and I'm 6'0" tall with the worlds largest bone frame I'm sure! lol
June 29, 201214 yr oh and I'm 6'0" tall with the worlds largest bone frame I'm sure! lol Not trying to hijack, but thinoneday, us tall Texas chicks are rockin' it! :-) I'm from Longview originally, now exiled in south Louisiana, LOL. Seriously, I've got you beat in height, but I have a pretty small bone frame for my height--now post-sleeve, I can actually tell that my body build was secretly thin the whole time--who knew?!? And all of you who are dropping from really high weights--GO, and YAY!! Super proud of you--every one of you, definitely post and keep us updated on your progress. Threads like this are celebrations!
June 29, 201214 yr Hi! I started this journey at 410. Yeah, I know 4 1 0!!! Crazy. I was sleeved 3/28. I am down 62 lbs. I am feeling SO much better. I am LOVING my sleeve. This has been a life changing decision. I am SO happy I had this done!
June 29, 201214 yr Oh you know? I completely didn't even think to add in height/size info. I'm a hair above 5'10. Pre-band highest: 385 - 400. For me, this was a 32 most of the time. Sometimes I needed smaller, sometimes bigger. The only stores I could walk into and trust they'd have something to fit me were Avenue and Dress Barn, neither of which reliably matched my personal style. Which kind of only existed in my head, apparently. After my band I stalled for about 18 months at 250. For me this was about a size 20 pant and a 14/16 top (I'm a pear+ with small boobs, I almost always wear about 2 sizes smaller up top). When I got to my low with my band, I was just squeezing into 18 pants and some regular/misses XL or XXL tops. Back up to my pre-sleeve high of about 350 - I couldn't even tell you what size. I was probably around a 26 or 28. I had a ton of 22/24, which is what I wore when my band was removed. They started getting snug, then got profanely tight... I had a major mental block pulling out bigger pants so I went so far as to wear them unzipped using a hair elastic to connect the closure, and just wore long tops that hid all of that. Stupid, I know. Then they got so tight that I couldn't really even do that because they were obviously not fitting on the thighs anymore. So I found some larger sizes in my closet... I never actually looked at the size but I'd bet about anything they were 28s. Now in the upper 270s again I'm wearing a size 24 skirt today, a downright baggy size 26 cami, and a 2x shirt over it.
I've seen a lot off people on here that were in the 200 range... Is there anyone that is between 300-400 that has lost a lot of weight? I just wanted to see the progress.
