  • That's rude. I'm around that weight and I'm MORBIDLY OBESE. Yea I'm short but whatever. We all need help.... it doesn't matter if you only need to lose 20 lbs or 2000 lbs, we shouldn't judge.

    Not true. When people are battling co-morbities along with their weight, the need is there. Everyone has their own struggles. I have seen people on here that were under 200 and had vsg

  • I understand what you mean. I'm sorry if I came off rude as well. Its just that weight and numbers are so relative, when taken out of context, it may not seem like much. Like 240 on a 6'0" man looks

214 for a week though is that normal? I'm so nervous am I doing this right. I research and see other people doing and looking amazing and thinking no way am I gonna look like that. I would love any advice.

Plateau's are normal, try changing up you workout, do weight first than cardio.

Started at 230 now 6 months out and at 180. I would like to lose more but I'm a slow loser. Happy for every pound. I haven't lost any in a couple of months. Need to excercise but I hate it.

I started at 234 now 133. Worked out in the begining no longer work out. I don't gain much just 2-3 lbs after my cycle then always back to 133 -131lbs. i eat pretty much anything I want still can't stand carboonated drinks cold they give me severe indigestion. Can't really drink and eat at the same time I get full really quick. After 17 months out down 100lbs i still can't consume more than 4oz at a time..

High weight 247

Surgery day 6/10/11 233

Today 124.6

Wow, congrats!!!! Can I ask you a question - in the beginning did you get that stuck feeling from eating or drinking & if so how long did it last... Are you able to eat mostly any foods?? I'm only a few weeks post op

No point for surgery if you are 240 lbs.

I do t know why you say this. I was 245 and BMI was 42, I am only 5' 2" so am short. Have you ever tried to lose 100 lbs on your own? This statement made me kind of mad.
