I'm 20 years old and need to lose 200+ pounds I don't know if I can do it. I would like to be under 200 pounds and I know that weight loss slows down after 15 months.

Anyone lose 200+ pounds in that time if so how did you

is it true if you lose weight before it makes it easier and you lose more weight

Initial consult weight was 348

Surgery day weight 323

Current weight 285

Goal weight 150....however I would say my goal is 148 do I could be down a total of 200, not 198.

I'm on the same boat darling!

January when I started all my pre op stuff I was my highest 389. That number is going to forever be on my mind! Morning of surgery I was 359. Today 2 weeks post op I'm 338.

I asked my surgeon if 200 was realistic since that was my goal, and he said yes. :) we just have to follow all the guidelines set forth and do our part - remember its just a "tool"

Best of luck girls! I think we can do this! I want to be 160!!

i think what I'm most afraid of is not liking my new body. I have no desire to be a tooth pick but rather have curves and an ass i don't have boobs

I think that's an honest feeling. I don't have boobs either but have a butt. I honestly can't even imagin myself at 160... Or 200 for that matter. But no matter my size I want to be healthy.

I think its different for everyone. I started all of my pre op stuff January 30th. I needed to do 12 weeks of classes and other stuff... My surgery was 7/25. I was told I had to lose 10% so I ate very healthy no breads, Pasta, rice and walked. On day of surgery I lost exactly 30lbs I was shy 8lbs but it was ok. I didn't need a pre liquid diet just liquid day before.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
