Short and portly before and after pics!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for inspiration today I'm 4'11 (pre op RNY scheduled for May 2016) and looking for other women who are no taller than 5'3ish to share their weight loss stories and/or progress/before and after pics. I'm doing the 6th month preop stuff that my insurance requires currently. My hw: 227 cw: 222 gw: 138? Thx in advance for sharing

I'm 5' 1"

I'm not done losing, but I have progress pics in my gallery. If you look at my profile, click on "gallery". There is a collage I made from the day of surgery May 20, 2015 to March 4th 2016, (9.5 month mark), and I am down another 10 lbs. since that last pic. (March 4, 2016)

Yes, I have thigh gap. I have no idea where that came from or why, but it's there. craziest thing. Of course It looks like the rest of my thighs are melting over my knees at this point, the loose skin is unbelievable.

My starting weight was 345lbs, and my surgeons goal is 150 lbs, then we'll talk plastics, and eventually I would like to be 115-120 or so. That same chart that they used to tell me I was 'super morbidly obese' is the same chart I am looking at that tells me I should weigh about 115 lbs. for my height. My surgeon says he never wants to see me under 125. *shrugs*
