My peak weight in May 2014 was 464. Lost 57 before my surgery on Oct-13 and as of last Monday lost an additional 10 lbs.

Curious if anyone out there was or is in my same situation. Ie. ~250 lbs to lose.

Thanks,

Ken

I was 441. Things are going good so far. Good luck!

Hey all..was at 405 lbs...with current weight at 395 and the surgery is set for Nov. 20th. I'm shooting for 275 lbs. as a goal weight but everyone I talk with says I'll likely hit 220-240. One woman even thought I'd hit 190 but I don't believe I'll get that low. I want to look healthy.

Yep. On the good side, we can wrack up some big monthly losses. On the bad, we have a huge amount to lose.

I am having some uncertainty about my proper target weight. The lowest I have ever been as an adult was 240. That was good, but not thin. The tables say 170-180, but that is inconceivably low. For now, I am just shooting for 240. Once I get there I will reevaluate.

Thanks for your replies. Its nice to know there are others out there. fortknox, is your Dr making you lose much before surgery? I had to lose 10%.

I was a 390lb sleever. Down to 233 in the first 11 months.

Work it!

I wasnt 400lbs when i had my bypass but at my heaviest i was 398lbs. So i understand how u may feel. U will do great.

Over the years i lost and gained but i was 239before my bypass, 8/12/2014, I lost 44lbs in 7weeks. Now im at a stall. My goal is 170 but the dr said i will b less than that.

I also know someone who was 400lbs and sleeved who is now 175lb after two ears. So with tha being said.....dont short change yourself ???? u got this! Jusy remember one day at a time...,,

Good luck on your journey

Hi everyone, 500+ when i started this journey. Looking forward to many, many changes. I wish you all the best!

I'm happy to report I'm no longer a member of the 400's club. I'm not 385 and happy that its been 8 years since I have weighed this weight. I wish I knew more of my weight milestones as the years went on. Its like turning back the clock on my life.

I was 500 lbs when I got surgery on March 26 2014. Now I'm 330lbs as of today. I feel great.

Bigjoey, what type of exercises were you doing at 385? I'm looking for ideas. My friends are recommending cross fit but my mind is saying low impact.

I do cardio 30 min on stationary bike and light weight training. My diet consist of egg whites and salsa for breakfast meal replacement for mid snack small chicken breast and asparagus for lunch and another then a salad for dinner. I take all vitamins that were recommended by my nutritionist.

Dont forget to get your water in stay hydrated.

I was 453 now at 223. Sleeved 6/4/2013.

Fantastic news! I'm almost there too!

water aerobics, walking and bicycling are good.
