Recommended Posts

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*

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
