ok i know this is the 100+ weight loss goal thread but i'm a 200+ goal weight loss

i havent had the surgery I've just been reading the stories to know what im in for if i get the surgery from the people who've had it. so all though im only 20 and weigh 400 pounds iwould like to know how it felt when they put you under

was it like sleeping or did it feel like time went by in a flash

and if you ladies have had any shoe size changes widht or size

Liz the sleep is the bet sleep ever. You won't even remember. My shoe size hasn't changed but they do feel too big. Maybe my feet are getting skinny.

Anything getting skinny counts

I had the same question about feet! I love reading everyone's post! Love to you all x

I'm three weeks out today from gastric bypass... I've lost 40 pounds... Down 2 shirt and bra cup sizes. My feet are also skinnier! I have about another 110 pounds to loose. I know what size I want to be... Don't care much about the weight. I just want to be healthy! This is MY year to focus on me and get healthy!! I'm amazed at how quickly the weight came off... I have started to platau but one I'm cleared for actual exercise... I'm sure it will start falling off again!! So glad I found this app! All the threads have been such a great help! I love reading all of them! God Bless you all on your journeys!!

Hi everyone:-) sounds like your all doing great! I started at 252 and now I'm down 92lbs!!! I want to be down another 30lbs to get me to the grand total of 122lbs lost! I'm so proud of my success so far and need the motivation to keep going:-)

how far post op are you mel

I'm 6 months out and I feel great most of the time lol. I'm still working making sure I drink enough and I feel hungry about every 2-3 hours.

You're doing great Mel!

Man I sure hope I can start this journey next month. I've had two rejections from my insurance so far. I see my PCP to in a few weeks and hopefully will get the final qualification the insurance wants.

What is the hold up? I'm so blessed that my insurance was so easy. I just did the few things the dr told me to do and then I had surgery it was sort of a world wind.

Thank you so much I appreciate it:-)

I'm going to the same thing. Insurance company wants six months of weight watchers. But I have everything else completed so it looks like my surgery will be in September. I am truly looking forward to this and I really appreciate everyone out there for what they're writing.

Hi Ken, Insurance has been something else. Two denials for me. I just got the 2nd letter today. Three things left to get done I guess. I can't see my PCP until June 22 so they had to post pone my surgery. She's away on vacation and the covering provider won't give me the "medical release" they want from her. Stinks!

But.....in will come in time.

My shoe size has decrease by a 1/2 of size.

I had my surgery on Aprial 17th 2012. The day of surgery I weighted 340 pounds. Today tree months later I weigh 262 pounds. That is almost 70 pounds and I'm excited about it! I can feel the difference and see it too. My goal weight is 160 but will be more then happy to get to 175-180. I'm 5'9" tall so I feel anything lighter would make me look sick. Congrats to everyone that is well on their weight loss goals!! Keep up the hard work!!

I had surgery March 21st 2012 and I am down 63 lbs. My goal is to lose 125 lbs but I'll be happy with 100! ...so at almost 4 months out I'm 1/2 way there. I started at 285 lbs. I'm 5'6". This too is also the best decision I've ever made. I am extremely grateful and truly humbled by the Lord's loving arms around me. From the day I went to the bariatric seminar till the day I had surgery took 3 months. Within 2 months I had a date. It went so smoothly and swiftly I knew that my prayers had been answered. I had been praying about my weight and one day I saw a commercial on TV so I called the #. I knew a couple of people who had it done and they looked great. I haven't had any complications:). I am just happy as pie
