My age and starting weight...anyone close?

I started at 388. I am 10 days out of surgery and am 346. I'm 36. Wondering if anyone is close to my age and size and how much they've lost. Thanks in advance!

Hiya, I started about 15lb higher than you and I'm 37, so close-ish. I'm exactly 2 months post op and have lost 50lb. Good luck on your journey!

It's fine to ask if the comparison is fun and interesting to you. You and anyone who responds are not each other, though. You won't necessarily have the same track record as those who've been losing most rapidly. You'll probably do very well, but keep realistic expectations. You must have read Hamlet along the way. Polonius' advice to Laertes will serve you well:

This above all, to thine own scale be true...

All the best to you.

I am in the program now through Mayo Clinic. I started out at 408 lbs and am 35 yrs old. I now weigh around 370 (with a goal of around 350 before surgery) and that is just the weight loss/exercise portion of the program. I don't even have a surgery date yet. Will figure that out once I finish all the requirements of the program.

Finally, someone who's my age and weight range.

Hi! My name is Jane, I am 37 current weight is 360 lbs. my height is 5'2 BMI IS 64

I am nowhere near a surgery date as of yet. But looking forward to seeing how you progress as we're in the same range.

I have my first appointment to meet the surgeon on September 9th. Not sure exactly what to expect aside from the usual health questions.

I had my surgery when I was 37- high weight was 337, SW: 315 current weight is 200

  • 4 weeks later...

Im 3 years post op. 30 years old. Went from 320 - 190-200...but now im back to 226 because of poor eating choices. Trying to get the weight losing again and not repeating history.

I was 38yrs old and 386lbs the day of surgery and I am 11months out now and 230lbs. I've had lots of stalls though.

I was almost 38 when I had my surgery. My high weight was 321. I'm 16 months out and currently weigh 154. 4 lbs till goal!
