I am 47 and 5'7"
HW 316.4
SW 300
CW 265
GW 175-180
I had my VSG on 2/19/18
I used to wear 3x-4x tops and 26 pants
I am currently wearing Xl - 2X tops depending on the style and size 20 pants
I joined the YMCA and am walking and exercising 2-3 days a week. I have also just recently started doing workout videos at home on the other days so I hope this will help with muscle tone, flexibility, and strength. I actually just brought my balance ball to work today to use as my desk chair and love it!
I eat approximately 1000- 1100 calories a day.

CW-179.8
GW-140 for now thinking more like 125.
I’m always looking for more motivating friends. Feel free to add me!
Just an update I’m at 168lbs now! Slowly but surely!!9 -
I'm Lynn and I am 66 years old. My highest weight was 331 lbs right before I started the Bariatric program. I thought I was 5'3" but as it turns out, I've shrunk. I am now 5'1 & 3/4". Guess that's what happens when you put all that weight on your spinal column. I had a Roux en Y Gastric Bypass on Oct. 17th, 2017 so I'm almost 7 months out. At the time of surgery, I was down to 279 lbs. I now weigh (or I did on 5/4/2018 and I weigh only 1 time per week or I get obsessive about it) 199.8. ONEDERLAND!!!! So I've lost 131.2 lbs altogether and 79.2 lbs since surgery. That amazes me. So wish I'd been able to do this so many years ago. I feel better, my arthritis is a lot better and moving is so much easier!3

This last year has been so awesome, there have been ups and downs, but overall, it has been an awesome journey!!

Sadly, I've had to take a couple weeks off of running, had to get my dang gallbladder out
But, Surgeon said I'm healed up to try running again, but if I have any pain to stop, since I'm 2.5 weeks out. SO, with his blessing, I'm going for a run today.
I had signed up for two 5K's, both of them were the weekend after my surgery.
I've gotta find me another one and sign up again!
I totally forgot I was going to read your story!!! I had did a quick once over, but that's it! I"m so excited for you and how awesome you did in the marathon!! You are my running inspiration!2 -

And hi from New Zealand!
HW 260lbs, and had a lap band 2009. Dropped to 180lbs and maintained maybe 4-5 years.
Got cancer, band emptied for chemo, and it broke when refilling a year later.
Gained weight to 220lbs and had RNY December 2017.
Now 161lbs, 5lbs off goal (goal determined by ‘not overweight BMI’)
It has been a bit of a dream journey for me - plain sailing, steady weight loss, manageable stalls. Have recently begin hankering for the rubbish food again, but I am hunkering down and riding that out! I know I have to have ended those rubbish habits forever...1 -

Before the surgery I was a type 2 diabetic, had hepatic steatosis, the doctors suspected a polycitemie vera and my colesterol and triglycerides were through the roof. Now I have almost perfect blood tests (thank God and the surgeon for that) and except for the dizzinesa I'm doing perfect. Trying to workout too (never did this before), bought a crosstrainer and working out 30 minutes a day (i started 2 days ago) - before it was just walking a few km a day.2 -

Medical issues: sleep apnea, hypothyroid, pre-diabetic, chronic migraines, chronic back and knee pain, THREE knee surgeries, degenerative joint and disc disease, fibromyalgia, gout, arthritis, reflux, recurring insomnia, major depressive disorder (mild), anxiety,
I just joined MFP yesterday and am prepping for VSG on October 22nd!! I got my new Garmin tracker yesterday at my pre-op education classes, so I'm off and "running" so to speak. (Except that I had knee surgery a few months ago and am just trying to get back into walking without pain)
Hoping to find like-minded people getting ready to go through this process, as well as people who have already taken the plunge! Can use all the support I can get
Currently living in the Midwest (SW Chicagoland area), so if you are near me...give a shout out!3 -
Hi, I'm Kate.
I just wrote a detailed post & it disappeared. So, I'm trying again, but in mini-version:
Gastric bypass - March 2014
Highest pre-op weight: 279.4
Day of op weight: 246.4
Lowest post-op: 164.5
Original target: 154 (so didn't make it, but surgeon was OK with my loss)
Dream weight: 125 (ideal bmi)
Current weight: 187
So, still got a long way to go...frustrating, but my new motto is:
'Keep Calm, Keep Going and Enjoy the Journey'!
Good luck to all. 🙂2 -

UPDATE: Consistency pays off. I am still steadily losing. Currently at 225, 7 months out from VSG. I haven't been eating the BEST but am aware of my mistakes so I guess that is the first step in correcting them. i want to be 100# down by the end of November which is when I began my journey.

Pre-op diet weight: June 5, 2018 - 288.8 lbs
Surgery date: June 25,2018
Current weight: 224.0 lbs
Honestly who cares what I lost cause it’s more important what I gained:
Energy, I walk for miles, run around with my dog, work out and then still have energy to clean the house, run up the stairs etc.
Confidence: I went to Vegas in October, got on a plane, fit in the seat, four hour flight, then still walked Vegas for hours every day!
Pants that fit: from a high size of 28 to a current size of 18!! And I finally own knee high boots!
