While scrolling through past postings I noticed there is" Guys who started over 400lbs" in the Guys Room. Well I believe if there is" gravy for the ?rooster" there certainly should be "gravy for the? hen " especially those of us with meatier? drumsticks. Are there challenges we face that aren't faced by our 200 lb sisters? Do we tend to lose weight faster or slower than smaller? flock members?
Weigh in my sisters, weigh in!

Well Debbie it's your BIG DAY, what time are you due at your facility? I remember my Own Wonder Wednesday 5 months ago and now it is January 31st, your Terrific Thursday, may everything go smoothly. Update us as surgery is done and we will,celebrate with YOu! GOD Bless Sweetheart#

Thank you so much. *hugs* my time slot to be at the Hospital is 730am. I'm really excited. Also of course nervous. I'm ready to begin this journey. Not looking forward to the pain thats gonna be coming. But it will be worth it. Looking forward to using my new tool.

Well I'm at the hospital, waiting to get my Bling (my band) and its neg 28 outside.. Brrr

So Debbie did the seed get done? How are you feeling today? Please give us an update, okay?

I'm officially on the losers bench. I had the gastric sleeve.

This morning the just had me drink some water and I tolerated it ok. So now I'm on Juice. If that is ok. I get to have coffee or tea.

The pain is a little worse then I thought. But since I can now swallow things I had oral pain meds. The IV pain meds didnt work as long.

Congrats Debbi! Welcome to the losing team!

The pain will take a week or so to subside, most of it will be gas from hell. After that I had major fatigue for about 6 weeks--all normal. Good luck.

I'm going home. I could of stayed a second night in the hospital but I have done everything the asked of me. The pain is manageable with pain meds.

Y'all are amazing and you can totally do it! Almost four years out from surgery now and I'm still going strong, don't let anyone tell you 300+ pounders will always fail/regain.

Hey ??
Hw: 344
Sw: 341(2-13-19)
Cw: 328 (5 days post op)
I’m super excited to be on this journey , any surgery twins ? ?

I'm 315, just started my journey. Doing the dietitian and nurse meetings now and hopefully have my surgery within the year. It's reassuring to see people who started near my weight say it's working out for them, especially long term. I know my expected weight after a year is around 220, but I'm personally hoping to get down in the 1's.

Following the thread!

I was 332 when I started the preop diet. I’m 4 mons post op, and I’ve lost over 90lbs. The challenges are that it takes awhile for you to really see a difference. I was nearly 80lbs before I started getting compliments. My stomach is holding on for dear life. My legs, arms, and chest went right away.

I am always amazed when I see these comments 90 lbs ! I am also over 300 pounds and if Lose 90 lbs after four months, I will be shouting on the beach (still clothed mind you) but I am still throwing a party. Can you share what/how do you eat. Also, since this is a older post, do you have any other comments?
