Has anyone started with weight of 400 or more? What is your weightloss so far? How many months are you pre op ? Do you think that I will be able to loose at least 200lbs ??

I was 399 when I was referred to the program, I lost 30ish lbs in the 2yrs I waited for surgery, 25lbs on the 21days of Optifast pre-surgery and am now an amazing 330lbs! (3.5wks post surgery)

I started out at 427 on the day of surgery 5/24/12. By 3 months out, last week, I was down 100 lbs. My surgeon fully expects me to lose between 200 and 220 lbs. Just stay strong through the plateaus. Here are my before and after pictures as of last week. It can be done!

I use my fitness pal but since I don't eat much its hard to track. But that weight one is great.

Thanks!

Surgery 7/25/12

It's good for tracking Protein and calorie.

My results so far:)

My highest weight in 9/10 was 406 [] I tried weight watchers.... Got down to 380 and with work, life just kinda lingered there... I met with my Surg in 12/10.... Because of a job promotion everything came to a screeching halt because of the traineeship... Remet with dr the summer of 2012 & scheduled my surg for 1/29/13!!! At day of preop appt I was 378.9... I had to do a 2 week preop diet and weighed in at 358.7 on surgery date .... I gained 7 lbs of water at hospital... Today I am 8 days post and weighed in @ 346.7!!!!! So after all that..... (Sorry but thanks for keeping up) I also have nearly 200 to lose!!!!

My highest weight was 405, I weighed 336 day of surgery, now weigh 254

My highest weight was 445! I was 407 the day of surgery, I am 9 weeks post op and I am down to 348 I have a ways to go but it is possible!! Good luck

I am 6 months post op. Although i didnt make it to the 400 mark i was pretty close. At my heaviest i was 376 today i am 265. I lost over 100lbs. Im very proud of what i have accomplished so far and i know i will continue looseing. As long as you are eating right, working out, you will loose the weight. I try not to think about the numbers on the scale because it makes you obsessed. Its amazing how quickly i lost 100 lbs, because i weigh myself once a month and i did not notice the rapid weight loss. My advice to everyone on here is to not concentrate on the scale as much, manage what you eat, excerise, live your life, try new activities, become more active and before you know it you will accomplish your goal weight.

I was 441.8 .to heavy for surgery so I went on a all liquid diet for about 3 months lost 41 pounds. Date of surgery 397 pounds, 20 weeks out im 316.4. The weight is coming off slower then I would like but its a process.
