I'm 5 ft 9 in and weighed 373 at my first doctors appointment and 354 lbs. on surgery day (had the sleeve) last June 30th. I now weight 228 lbs My initial goal was 220 lbs.

Am happy with size. I'm now wearing size 16 shirts (down from 24) and size 18 pants (down from a tight 26). Waist is front and center. I was surprised to see it when it first appeared, but have a quality hourglass shape now.

Also skin seems to have bounced back quite well even though I'm 50 years old. I think being tall has been helpful.

I am still losing, albiet a lot slower, and will give it another six months for my body to decide where it wants to stay.

I love these posts! This is totally what I have been researching and looking into. I do not even know what it would be like to be close to 200 lbs. I have been a big girl since 8th grade. I am so excited to join the losers bench on December 7th!!! I am ready to see the results of the hard work I am putting in. You ladies are such an inspiration to me!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
