If you are tall please share your experience with WSL because bigger and frames just aren't the same as petite and average frames. My lean mass alone is higher than a lot of peoples goal weight that i read about, ~130lb.

Please share with us your height, goal weight and progress. Thanks

Well I was a hair under 6 feet in my youth, bariatric surgeon tells me between menopausal settling, my vertebrae getting less fat and the strain of b lugging around over 300 pounds on my spine, I am now 5foot 8,5 inches. I have heard of,people who grew a inch in measurement, maybe when less weight they stood up straighter? 😝Anyway I am what i am and that better be GOOD ENOUGH!

5'9”
Surgery Date: 9/27/17
Start Weight: 273
Current Weight: 173
Dr’s Goal: 170
My Goal: 165-173
Just as when I was heavier, people think I weigh a lot less than I actually do. They also assume my clothing size is in single digits, but I actually wear a size 12.
I’d like to lose a little more weight (8-10 pounds) and then start doing resistance training to gain that amount back in lean muscle.

surgery date:not scheduled yet

start weight/ current weight: 270

goal weight: 160 (Dr says 200, but I can do better. I’ve been as low as 150 and I’m currently at my highest weight, and I was happy at 160/165 way back when)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
