Hey just ran into this thread. Congrats on your surgery. I sure hope your issues are settling out and your progress is positive.

I would fall into the lower bmi category I am 5.5 1/2 and my top weight (day of surgery) was 215. I was having bouts with high blood pressure and irregular heart rate. I am 7 weeks out today and have lost 29lbs. I am very happy with how everything has gone and am so grateful to have had the surgery. I can eat just about anything, sugar gets to me most (yay!).

For me this was not to get model skinny, but rather to tip my hand in the battle against my weight and to aid in healthfulness and longevity. It's a marathon not a race and I plan on going for a long long time. :)

I am hoping to shed 75 pounds, although those pesky weight charts say I should lose 87 pounds.

. Sometimes the chart isn't the important number it'S the getting healthy part that is most important so hang in there and you'll know when your number is good

I have signed up June 27. BMi about 35. Ready to get it done. Tired of this is understatement. It is an affliction. Going with Alvarez in Mexico. Can't believe I'm doing this. I am medical professional and my insurance does cover. But not any of the pre or post op stuff which comes to about 3 or 4k so they're going to try to get it from you anyway. That is prob about their cost. forget it I'm not going thru 6 months of appointments and psychoanalysis ' date=' trying work raise kids just to have part of it covered and wonder if I'll be approved. So that's where I am ![/quote']

These are the same reasons I chose Mexico. "Ain't nobody got time for all that." Lol! I will follow the plan after surgery and exercise.

Butterflies in my tummy this morning! 4 days until surgery! Start a three day clear liquid diet tomorrow! This mornings weight is 154lbs! At 5ft that's a chunky squatty body! Very top heavy so out of proportion. Typical chart says ideal weight is 101-107. That's too small. I'm a petite/small frame. Would be happy at 110-119. Any sleeves with 30BMI that has a success story? Thanks :)

      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?

      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
