I am 4ft 11in and weigh 187lbs. I have always worked out (spin, boot camp etc..). I eat healthy and not a big junk food eater. My problem is I have to eat very tiny portions to see any results. Does not even matter what the food is. If it's not a minuscule portion I will not loose anything. I had a trainer for a year and see a nutritionist once a month. I have done Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers etc...It all comes nack to my portion size. 1 cup of anything is too much for me so i have to weight and measure everything. It's been years of up and down and a struggle.

Because of my height and weight I qualify for the surgery. The date is set for April 13th. DR. Wants me to loose about 50lbs. Anyone out there that has about the same to loose?

I Feel uncomfortable sharing as people look at me thinking i don't need it.

I'm 4'11" and I weigh 210 to 217 this is all I seem to be able to maintain, however I was 238 when I realized I just don't seem to lose for a while and just gain it back it's very depressing to go through. Is surgery the answer? No of course not but it's a tool that will help me quit going up and down, my Dr said to lose weight but he didn't say how much he just said to lose weight, I stopped eating at nite which was really hard because I never realized how much I ate late at night until I tried to stop.

Thanks for responding.

I am very discplined with my eating and working out but as mentioned i have to extremely regimented to see any change and when i do it's so small. Tired of the yo yo. I definitely do not think this is the easy way out, i am using as a tool to help me do what i have been unable to do on my own.

So when is your surgery??

I'm 4'10" 180. Very similar to you. Your story is similar to mine- I've been a yo yo for years. I take off a little and put more back on. I have to severely restrict my calories to lose- then I'm starving. When go back to Eating normal portions I gain.

Charles.angel....thanks for responding. I have felt so isolated with this. I do all the right things but the regiment of it is emotionally exhausted. Although i don't look obese i am over weight and no one understands how hard this has been. To be successful the calories have to be so restrictive.

I had vsg Dec 5th. I had a total of 55 lbs to lose. I don't regret it. Down 27 lbs. I've always struggled with weight even though I worked out a lot and ate right most of the time. I needed this extra tool.

Hey there, I just had my 3rd nutrition class in Dec , so I'll be done in March with the classes, I've already had an EGD and a sleep study , no sleep apnea, my surgeon said I didn't have to get the colonoscopy, thank God! I have a support group meeting to attend and I have the papers for my psychiatrist to fill out I see her on Feb 1st, and I'm also done with the psychologist meetings until after surgery. Everything is getting done steadily crossing off every step. I have everything posted as they are in order to be done so it just seems that time flies by normally until you want to do something and then everything comes to a slow stand.

I'm 5'2 and was 221. I had my surgery dec 13th and am already down 22lbs. I've had the same struggle with JC / WW and working out. They never seemed to help me understand how much food to eat with working out. So I just got down and depressed and just kept eating and stopped working out which is how I got to 221. In just the 3+ weeks since my surgery I'm so excited to get back to the gym (in a few more weeks). I finally can eat the quantity I need and the right kind of foods (thanks to nutritionist) and exercise. I'm so looking. Forward to my progress and I know I'll hit my 60 in no time.

The smaller you are the harder it will be to lose. Will have to work with your NUT to make sure you aren't malnutritioned. I may lose more than that but I want to stay in a healthy range.

I had 60 pounds to loose. My sugury was a year ago. By 5 months out, I'd lost my 60 lbs and maintained. No regrets.
