Good luck on your surgery. I'm pear shaped and 5'3 but I'm only 2 weeks post op. I didn't have to do liquids before surgery, but I had two weeks of liquids following surgery. Today I get instructions for my next step. I will say in 14 days I've lost 17 lbs. so just follow instructions and you will do great!!

I am 5-10 but more of a pear. I am 255 now which is 12 weeks after surgery. I was 295 at surgery. I am a comfortable (loose) 1X in shirts now and 18 in pants. since your starting below me you will look and feel awesome so soon! being tall helps a lot.

Best of luck to you!

Awesome job ladies! I'm excited to get moving. Right now I'm trying not to bite someone's head off bc of lack of food on this liquid diet.

Hey I'm 5"10 and 250. Bmi of 35.7. So I'm right on the line. Just started the process. Can't fall below.

I was just barely enough. But I have been barely enough for 8 years!! Once I was accepted I was told to lose 10lbs or no date with the surgeon. Got my date and he told me to lose as much as I can.

I can't imagine wearing a s/m shirt how exciting!! I have some old old jeans and pants I've been saving for years! : )

Right now I think I'd be happy with a large and no X's with it! Lol...I'd be perfectly happy with a 14. A 10 is my ultimate goal!! :)

Totally!!! Can't wait for more choices in clothing. Not to be told when asking where is the women's sizes " there in the back by the elevator" and like nothing to choose from!

I am 5'9" and 256, totally apple shape. I agree it helps to be tall, but I am tired of hearing people say "you don't need to have surgery, you carry your weight well". Um, I don't WANT to carry my weight at all! :-P

I would be thrilled wearing a size 10!!

Looking to have surgery in late June/ early July, IF I ever get my doctors office to call me with a date.

I'm 5'9" and 2 weeks ago (the day of surgery) I was 268 and now I'm 242. I have put my measurements into a body calculator and it said I was pear shaped. My butt is bigger than my boobs and they are both bigger than my waist. Currently wear a size 18W/20W and xl top but the pants are starting to get big on me! My band on my bras are also getting big which is upsetting because I have little tatas.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
