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!

Hey ladies! I haven’t checked in in a bit but I’m really encouraged by everyone’s progress.!

Personally, I was sleeved on December 24th and I’m down 51 pounds since December 1st. I’ve already dropped a couple of sizes and I get complements everyday. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but it feels nice.

I haven't been sleeved yet but figured I would hop in!

Surgery date is 3/18/19. Starting pre-op diet on 3/4.

HW: 325
CW: 301 (Went through a rough breakup)
GW: 150

It's so encouraging to see everyone losing so much and living their lives! I can't wait to post updates!

Surgery on 2/18/19 weight at 327, and I’m shocked I weighed myself this morning (2/25/19) at 303! ? that’s 24 pounds in 7 days....everything inside of me tells me weight loss in that short amount of time only comes back on faster....but I have to break that thinking. Rny bypass just changed my life. I am shocked.

I was 383 before I started my program and had RnY on 8/26/18 I am 10 pounds away from my first 100 pounds down and it is so surreal. I have had to get different pieces of new clothing and take in some other pieces. Most of the people in my life have all been supportive of all of the changes. That has helped tremendously.

I am currently pre op but I started at 342 lbs.

My lowest was actually 186 but then some health issues, twin pregnancy and depression (I lost my father who I was extremely close to) got me back up to 285 in the past 4 years. I got to 186 without surgery but just couldn’t stay there.

My body has Yoyo’d so much. About a year and a half ago I went from 286 to 229 and then skyrocketed back up to 285 after conceiving twins.

My surgery is scheduled for 4/4/19 and I couldn’t be more excited.

Had my surgery yesterday at 339.

I'm down 25 pounds since sleeve surgery. Just had to share I'm so excited.

Hey everyone! I was 354 at my highest weight, 321 day of surgery (10/2/18) and am 252 currently. See my surgeon again today and am anxious to hear their thoughts. I’ve been so happy with my decision to have this surgery. I’m excited for everyone here!! Keep up the good work!!

Started this journey on 06/06/18 w/ gastric sleeve surgery. Down about 110lbs from pre-op weight of 320lbs. Weight loss has started to slow down bit but still happening. Best decision I have ever made. Life changing. ❤️

You look stunning and I like your dark hair!!
You all are giving me so much hope I could literally cry! Thank you ALL for sharing your stories and pics

I had my surgery on February 21, and I started the 2-week pre-op liquid diet at 381.

I'm only down 18 lbs so far, but we'll see how I do!

Started at 313. Down 65. People are just now starting to comment. Not sure when they started to notice.

I’m scheduled for bypass on 3/19 and I can’t wait! My highest weight was 320 lbs and I currently weigh 304 lbs. On Monday I have my pre-op class and I am pretty sure I will be starting my pre-op diet on Tuesday.

And you will be glad for the surgery when everything settles down again. It rocks you and your world for quite awhile but you're gonna be glad. Would never want to go back to HW (365+) even my surgery weight(319) I will be 6 months this Tuesday (9/05/2018) think I am hovering around 260-265, I have a different type doctor appointment Monday(3/04/19) they do have a scale, I don't own one myself, had a speaking one, got mad, pitched it in the dumpster long ago. Last thing I need is a robotic voice saying "You weigh the same as a small steer!"
Yes people have started to notice,but not in a positive way, "Your face looks gaunt"- Are you sure you aren't taken for sick? "Did you get Cancer?" No, is it mandatory? Have your surgery before you're old like me, nobody considers a Happy thing like deliberate weight loss when you're over 70. Last person , the one asking about cancer, I told her" No I had weight loss surgery",only to be told "Nope that's a lie, you know you have cancer and don't want to admit it!" Why argue, I said " Bye Felecia " to her and went on my merry way , inside I'm shaking my head, I'd never have said That to Her. People are strange and some don't get any brighter as the years pass.
But although some days I Think I look like a wreck on the B&O waiting for somebody to clear the tracks, the few people I have left that love ME say it is a positive change. I think one of the things is. I am rather housebound in Central Ohio, it's gloomy cold March and I need some real sunlight on my skin, too poor for tanning beds, don't care if it brings out my Celtic freckles, at least I won't look any longer like skim milk, and not Fairlife, the cheap kind, after the butterfat has disappeared.
