Wonderful!!! I'm very happy for you! What a feeling

Your stats are similar to mine. I am pre-surgery (April 17 date) with many concerns.

I am about to post some concerns as other topics. Since you started at similar stats to me, maybe you can find my other topic and respond? It will be about pre-op weight loss. Part of my dilemma in this now is that my pre-op weight loss is amazingly fast (and actually now that I have looked at some people's stats POST surgery, appears to be faster). I am a yo-yo-er

Congrats so happy for you

My pre-op they wanted me to lose about 20 lbs And I did my fitness pal and lost 10lbs in. 3 month.

Average weight loss is 10lbs a month! You may lose more or less!

I recommended that you

"DO NOT" "WEIGHT YOURSELF DAILY" if u read some post they drive themselves crazy!!! You hit PLATEAUS!! When that happens you may start seeing inches come off!! Any other questions please ask.

I will be thrilled to reach 150, no less 140. GOOD FOR YOU in your journey. It feels amazing to wear size 8 & 10!!

My surgery is in 4 days..... I will break 200 before then!!! I am not really struggling to stay on this track (re: pre surgery eating & weight loss) to be honest. I just know myself and know that my pattern cycles and in a year from now, without RNY, I could easily be 240.

I'm not really in a rush to lose weight after RNY. My interest is being healthier! I'm praying this will help my diabetes and I am through with sugar and carbs.

Down from a 24/26 to an 18 and size 12 is my goal can't wait.

Size 7 was the goal size I wanted to be but I started getting smaller & ended up in size 2

Size 2??? OMG I could not imagine

Size 2??? OMG I could not imagine

U might need a few more calories added 2 is tiny

OK so here's a biology question....

You said your goal was a 7 but you ended up a 2.... was that by choice or did you just keep losing weight? How does your body then know to stop at sz 2 and not end up at sz 0 or less?

I have actually been worried that I will have a hard time not staying at a size. I do not ever want to fall below a sz 6 for example.

Amen I want to be a 12 but a 10 is my cut off.
