    My name is Roslyn. VSG-06/01/2015
    Height: 5'4"
    HW: 294
    SW: 285.5
    CW: 255
    Goal: 145

    I'm feeling good. I workout 3-4x per week. Have been doing that well before surgery. Struggle with an insane appetite. Even after surgery, still need to control my urges to eat. I burn through food quickly and get hungry fast. VSG has helped but the pangs have not completely gone away. I try to stay under 1100 calories per day but get a caloric "break" with the additional exercise (+300 to 500 calories).

    Everyday is a struggle. Any advice?!?!

    I'm Heather 43 and I had my gastric bypass done 3/24/15.

    Highest weight 325lbs + didn't care to step on the scales.
    Weight day of bypass 299lbs
    Clothing size 28
    As of this morning 225lbs not shy with the scales now.
    Clothing 18- 20. 18 is just a tad snug but still wearable.

    No regrets in anyway, I dont miss eating sweets or huge meals. I have more energy, I'm doing yard work, going to the park with my kids and just loving and living life. TODAY IS ALWAY THE BEST DAY.

    Prior to surgery:
    Weighed 278.8
    Pant size 22/24
    Shirt size - 2SL/3XL
    Shoe size - 9-1/2 or 10

    Current weight: toggle between 162-161lbs - (about 116 down)

    This is has been an amazing journey, harder than I thought. I feel great and wouldn't change it for the world. I still need to loose about 17 more pounds. I am so scared I am going to mess it up, does any one else feel that way??

    Age: 44
    Height: 5'5"
    HW: 311 This is at my last pre-op appointment. Likely it was higher but I wouldn't know because prior to prepping for surgery I hadn't been on a scale in years.
    SW: 298
    CW: 230

    Starting pant size: 26/28
    shirt size: as big as I could get them; 26/28, 3x
    Current pant size: 18
    shirt size: 18, xl

    I still have big honkin' size 11 feet, but my shoes fit better for sure.

    Updating myself!

    CW: 180
    Pants: 12 or 14 depending on the cut/style and label

    Doing it again:
    Date of Surgery: 7/17/14
    SW: 298
    CW: 156
    Pants: 8/10. The last two pairs I bought one was an 8 and the other a 10 and they fit the same. LOL

    I'm a newbie but I'm doing great! I have already lost weight and I'm just trying to balance my food intake. I am excited about this journey and I see a change in me already. My clothes are already starting to be loose. My goal weight is 150lbs I will be more than happy at that weight. I haven't seen that weight since I was in my 20's.

    Amazing success stories! Hi! My name is Barbara. My shoe size was 71/2.

    Height: 5'
    Weight: 321 lbs
    Pants: I didn't wear them
    Dresses: 32-34, 36-38, (at that time, it was very hard to find clothes big enough for me)
    Tops: 36-38 (4x) I can't remember if they had that back in 03'.

    Current Weight: 106-110
    Pants: 0
    Tops: XS
    Shoes: 6 or 6 1/2

    I was so heavy/morbidly obese I could barely care for myself with personal hygiene. I got deeply depressed and I went into a cycle of binge eating for about 6 years. Before that, I was always about 15 lbs over weight. I was about to give up my career as a Hospice Social Worker when a friend of a friend that was heavy all her life had this surgery. Before I knew it I had the surgery.

    The first 6 months was hell. Back then, they didn't require counseling, diet counseling,etc. The worst part was the feeling of a raw stomach. I also ate too much and experienced wasting. I found out soon that I could shrink my stomach and follow the doctor/nutritionist after some consultation.

    I thought I was going to die. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, edema, and could barely walk. I didn't lose my weight over night. It took me about 2 years to get it all off. I did lose some hair but it grew back with no problems.

    My life changed significantly after the weight came off. I finally felt a sense of self. I never became "oh I'm so great." For me, I was happy to be alive and humbled to be given a second chance. I swore I would help others that asked for it that I would support people suffering in silence the prison of obesity.

    I'm just an average woman, who loves to laugh, make friends, and stay out of trouble! Feel free to ask me anything about my experience. I'm an open book and I do have a before picture.

    Sincerely,
    Barbara :smile:
