346 at consult, 313 day of surgery, 252 6 months out. Doctor says I will probably get down to 200 from the VGS. That is going to be my next goal. I hope to lose more but going to take in smaller steps.0

I revised from the band to the sleeve on 1/21/13, I weighed 159 on the day of surgery. On the date of my band surgery, 3/5/07, I weighed 226. Lowest weight with band was 131. Trying to get back there and maintain after complications with the band.0

New to this group! I'm almost 18 months out from surgery 8/10/11 . . . SW was 263, CW is 171, GW is 150. Lowest I've been is ~165-ish, I've bounced up a bit during holidays/wintertime. Just back on track this week with MFP, I had tracked very sporadically over the past months. Loving my past few days of self-control!!!
Feel free to add me as a friend, I'm always up for looking at other people's food ideas. 0 -
My starting weight was 239. I am at 204 as of today. My surgery date was November 21, 2o12. I have lost 35 pounds. My goal weight is 150. I am working out every day-moving, walking, etc. I plan to add weights to my routine. I am currently building muscle so my scale hasnt moved in two weeks - I know it will come off! I eat about 800 calories a day if I can get it in, and still have snacks and popcorn, etc..although I am considering going hardcore on myself and sticking to protein and veg/low carb for a few weeks to get things kickstarted again.... 0

I was 408 at my consult, crazy to think about that now! I prepared for a year, seeing the dietician and doing physical therapy from September 2011-August 2012, and I was 330 on surgery day. Today I am at 233 pounds and am 1 week away from my 6 month surgiversary. I WILL lose those 3 pounds this week!!! My goal is to get under 200 pounds. I am getting married in May, and it would be nice to get there by then, but my real goal is to get there by my 1 year surgiversary. I feel like 200 is a good place to be for makin’ babies, and that is what I would like to be doing at 1 year out :-)0

My Highest weight was 320 in January of 2011. I started logging on MFP in March of that year and by October was down to 269.8. I had a series of tragic events happen in my life and gained 20-30 of those lbs back. I never got back over 300 but was very clearly in the 290's. I don't remember what my weight was at my consultation but I know I had gained a little before I started my 2 week pre op diet. at the start of my pre-op diet I was 294 even. The day of my surgery I weighed 281.8. Today I am 3 months out from surgery and I weigh 252.6 My goal is also to be under 200 but would love to be down to 150. I am 5'6 and my goal is ultimately to be healthy enough to get pregnant. I do exercise a lot! I am in the gym 6 days a week. I can't say I enjoy working out but I enjoy what it does for my body and I love the people that work at my gym. I also have a trainer that I meet with once a week and she has really become a close friend. Its people like that that make a huge difference in the way I look at the gym.0

Highest weight i saw on my scale was probably 394. With MFP and lots of success/failures, i was at 335 at surgery. Now i'm about 275 (4 1/2 months out). I feel good, but it aint easy - still needing to watch what i eat, etc...Love MFP!0

I had surgery on Nov. 12, 2012 as well. How is it going? I find it hard to find foods high in protein to eat. I am so tried of eating the same things. I hate greek yogurt and cottage cheese which of course has lots of protein. Celeste
I had surgery Nov. 20th 2012. Protein is not an issue for me. but one thing I have found that gives you a lot of bang for your buck protein-wise is a snack of Beef Jerkey. If you are able to digest it, it's a good source. You wouldn't want to eat it every day because the sodium content tends to be high. If you stay away from flavored ones (Teriyaki, Peppered, etc) and stick with the plain, it's not quite so bad. But it has something like 30+ grams in 3 oz. depending on the brand.
My starting weight was 362, and my pre-op weight was 348. My current weight (as of today at the doc) was 305, for a total of 43 lbs post-op, and 57 lbs overall.0 -

I started on my pre-op diet at 274 and was sleeved on 2/20. I am currently at 239 for a loss of 35 pounds. I walk on my treadmill mostly and just recently added some weights to my walk. I am planning on adding a couple of zumba classes this week.0

My highest weight was 347 in 2007. I lost 87 on my own & stalled in 2009, then regained (2011-2012). I was 308 when I started my pre-op diet on 3/6/13 & 290 on surgery day 3/27. My ticker is only surgery weight (starting at 308). 2 weeks out & 32 # down...is WAY more than I ever hoped for. My next goal is 270 by Earth Day (currently 276). I'd like to hit 255 by my birthday (5/21), but we'll see. I'd like to see 225 by Labor Day. I'm just happy to be steadily losing & not yo-yo'ing 10# in a week....0
