    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!

    Starting weight (highest) was 220. Lost 10 prior to surgery on 2/4/13. Down 15 since. Currently 195. Goal is 130-140. 5'3". MFP is a great help! And lots of encouragement here!

    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.

    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.

    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....
