lightweights around 200 pounds

Its hard for me to compare to everyone on here because of course the more you weigh the more you will lose. So I'm just curious to see how much weight you have lost if you weighed around 300.

SW 205

CW 186

19 lost

Sleeved May 15th.

    I completely understand not getting down by the scale. I know I am strong and have fit in some size 10 dresses even at 153 so I'm thinking I may not need to get to goal of 123 to be totally happy with

  • Well it makes me feel a little better. I know I don't have as much weight to lose so it takes longer. Its still frustrating and scary though. I was miserable at 205. I coupdnt believe I had let myself

I have BSBC but you sound like the ideal candidate to me

I am also glad to have come across this post. I will be losing my band in 2 wks. Dr. said that I need to convert to "sleeve or by pass" b/c I still have diabetes and H/P. My weight is 212 right now. I started at 248 4 yrs ago with the band that has to go now. I am worried about doing either one. I have now ruled out the bypass. After reviewing these posts and seeing that there are others out there in my shoes, I believe the sleeve is the way for me. Thanks

After several weeks of uncontrolled bingeing, I got on the scale this morning and my weight was 204.8. My surgery is in 2 weeks. I am supposed to start my 1 week pre-op diet on July 25th, but I decided to do an extra week as a jump start. Knowing I don't "really" have to start for another week, this will be my test of my own commitment. Technically.... I can still cheat without being non-compliant with Dr's orders, but I really want to make this work for me. I was hoping to be 185 on my day of surgery, but clearly that's not going to happen. I'm 60 years old and 5' tall. My goal is 125.

U may lose up to 15 pounds if u do you stay strick on the pre op diet.drink lots of Water and stay away from startches. I couldn't believe I dropped 13lbs.!!! I only dropped 3lbs the 1st week , but stayed focus & dropped 10 the next week. So it can happen! Stay strong!

H: 5' 6.5"

Highest weight: 247

SW: 228 (6/18/2013)

CW: 207

4 weeks, 3 days out; 2 week stall; seems like I'm going to be a slow loser if I continue with these stalls. I am exercising and I've been able to increase my calories. Doing good with Protein and fluids. Only time will tell....

Sleeved May 16. 9 weeks out today

Pre-op:239

Current: 205

Total lost: 34 (4lbs behind where surgeon says I should be)

Went from size 20 to size 16 so far.

Getting around 400 cals a day, struggle to get my Protein and Water in. Exercising a couple times a week (cardio & strength training). I have not experienced hunger since the surgery, no major complications, just need to figure out the protein thing!
