Anyone start around 285 and 5'4

I know that we all lose differently. I'm just curious to see how much was lost by those around the same size as me. My highest was 299 currently 285. Pre op starts on June 16. Surgery June 23. I have found this forum very helpful during my journey.

I am 5'4 and my surgery weight was 284. I lost 55 lbs prior to surgery on my 6 month supervised diet and 2 week preop. Down just about 130 lbs in the year since surgery and have about 16 lbs to go to reach my goal.

I was 280 my day of surgery and 289 when started the 1 week pre op liquid diet. Today is 7 weeks and I weigh 254. And have lost close to 30 inches. I am very happy with my results so far and just wish I would of had this surgery years ago.

Thanks everyone I appreciate you taking the time to respond. This is a very exciting and nervous time for me I look forward to my transformation

I had my surgery, sleeve, on June 4th. At my highest I was 297lbs. I am 5'4" and at the one week liquid pre- op diet I was 283 lbs. I had my monthly cylce during my liquid pre-op diet and lost 7.1 lbs. Surgery day I weighed 275.8. Today I am down to 265.8 lbs. I would love for it to be faster but I am very happy with my progress. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in a long time. I feel lighter. My goal is to be between 135 and 150. It will take me a long time but I know it took me a lifetime to put the weight on. My husband had the sleeve one year and four months ago and has lost about 150lbs. He is the greatest support and example to me that it can be done!
