500 pounds what can I expct?

I started at 476 august 1st and today I'm at 353

Congratulations to all of you who posted in this thread. I am 310(I think) and have probably lost some weight in the past 2 weeks while on my pre op diet. I will find out tomorrow at my pre op testing. I have a date of Dec3 and I would love to be walking by Christmas, even if it is cold outside. All of your posts are very encouraging.

I started out at 477, was 450ish at surgery. I had the VSG, and I admit that I'm not great at exercising and sticking to the diet. That's absolutely on me. I've had to switch antidepressants several times in the last year, and the surgery can only help so much with emotional eating. Even with that being said, I weigh 307 pounds today. The difference 170 pounds makes is astonishing. You'll feel better soon.
