My age and starting weight...anyone close?



Recommended Posts

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!

@@GettinSlim80 --

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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
