5'5 269 pds.......??????????????????//
ok so maybe im obsessing over this! I just got approved for surgery last week and im 5'5 269pds is there anyone whos had surgery the same height as myself i know everyone is different i just cant picture myself as small as some of the people on here...lol i keep saying im gonna be the person who doesnt lose weight even after my bypass lol i just cant see myself skinny idk...
i'm quite a bit shorter than you, 5'0 and started at 252 lbs. As of this morning I was 162 (had surgery 9/27/10 so I'm 9.5 months out). I think we all thing we are gonna be the one that doesn't lose anything. When I look in the mirror I see a huge difference in my face (and the past week or so my boobs ugh!) but I still see my stomach as big. I know it's a lot smaller but I just don't see it that way.
I'm 5'5 and started out at 262. Trust me I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. I have seen all the befores and afters of people looking amazingly small. I thought I was going to be the one to not lose any weight too. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and I've lost 17 lbs so far. Seriously, I would have never thought pre-op that i would have lost that much by now. I am truly impressed. However, I am listening and doing EVERYTHING that the doctor tells me to. Just be sure to follow your surgeon's instructions very closely and I'm sure you'll do fine!
