157.4 this morning. I'm comfortably in a size 14. I'm eyeing the 12's and 10's now - which is new territory for me. I haven't been that small since 1985. :-)

145 today. I'm in a size 12 pants and a medium top. I squeezed into a size 10 pair of jeans the other day - they were snug but I could zip and button them up. So I bought them! By Christmas I should be able to wear them! I'm loving shopping in the petite department - and feeling like I belong there!

I had surgery 11/12/13 I'm 14 days out my height is 5"5 starting weight was 250 and my current weight is 226 I've lost about 24 lbs in 14 days I get my 80 grams of protein + a day and drink 64 ounces of water a day.

I'm 5months post op. My surgery date was July 18,2013. I'm 5'9 and my highest weight was 333lbs. My surgery weight was 315lbs. I am now between 244-247lbs..still have a lot more weight to lose to get to my goal of 165lbs.

I am 2.5 weeks post.. I started my journey at my highest weight of 244lbs. Surgery date 232lbs. Today I am at 210lbs.

Everyone has said they see a difference already. And yes I see my face thinner. But my belly still looks so big. Bigger sometimes. Idk if its still air and fluids. But I know the scale isn't lying so its coming off.... I'm eating mostly liquids. Tons of water... protein shake and one small soft meal.

Monday Dec 30 will be exactly seven months from my surgery. I have lost 101 pounds. :-) Everything is going well and I am thrilled with my results. I'm curious how much more I will lose. I'm currently 132 pounds. At 5' tall that is still over the recommended weight range of 105 - 120 that my PCP says is ideal for someone my height. I weighed 115 on my wedding day - I wonder if I will get see that again? It seems possible but I would be happy enough right where I am. Life is good! :-)

I am down 35 lbs I am 8 weeks out. Hw 332 sw 281 cw 245

Congrats Terry!!!! That's amazing

I'm 2 weeks post op. SW 345. Weight day of surgery 325. Weight today 310.

The poll is a great idea but perhaps the addition of "considering revision" might help to include everyone.

Christi ... That's fantastic! I'm so happy for u that it's going so well for u!! I hope mine goes that well when it's time!! :)

I started at 282 in march 2013 and currently as of January 1st I am 154 lbs. I started in a size 22 and currently in a size 8.... Never would've imagine being in a size 8 in my wildest dreams ...I am 5'9" so my weight should be around 165

Momma fine!!! That is AMAZING! I hope to be a total success like you. You give me lots of hope! Ty for sharing....

I am about 2.5 yrs out from bypass surgery. I have hit a wall. I am 86 lbs lost and would like to lose 30 more. I am really working on back to basics and workouts. any ecouragement or ideas anyone has would be welcome.
