As of yesterday, I have lost 134lbs and now weigh under 200lbs!!

I had my surgery January 11.

Start weight was 333.1

Yesterday's weight 199.1

As someone who has spent the majority of my adult life weighing well over 300lbs, this is a huge accomplishment for me. I never thought I would get to this weight. I cried when I saw the scale yesterday.

When I had wls, I never really picked a number I wanted to get to as a goal weight....all I wanted was that number to start with a 1!!! Now that I'm here, I feel there's nothing I can't accomplish. I'm still not sure where I want to be yet, but my next goal will be to get to 180lbs.

Thank you, but no, I have not had any skin removed yet. I will though...I have a very large, hanging apron.

I will look into getting plastic surgery early next year. I still want to lose at least 20 more pounds.

Good for you for reaching your goal weight!! I can't wait to have that feeling...I still haven't decided what I want my goal weight to be...originally it was 180lbs, but now that I weigh under that, I think I want to get to 160lbs.

So crazy to even get this far!!

We should all be so proud of ourselves!!

I know this sounds cliche, but it's true...if I can do it, you can too. The last time I weighed in the 100's was when I was around 17, and I'm 40 now! I honestly never believed my body was even capable of weighing this again!

I can't wait for your post when you get here too!!

Ivejust got my surgery date, sept 7th and im so excited. I was always 145lbs because i was a flight attendant for 18yrs. Once i had back surgery, and they started with rhe steriods, i ballooned up to 288lbs and couldnt get it off alone. My goal weight isnt to be that small again, but i would like to be in a 8-10 again. Currently i weigh 288lbs.

I had to do a 2 week preop diet. A Protein shake for Breakfast, one for lunch, then a supper with protein and veggies only. Then 2 days before surgery clear fluids only.
