Tracking WLS?
I know everyone is different, but I am wondering if I can estimate how much weight I may lose possibly lose in 5 months. I am hoping to have surgery in Sept and I am going away at the end of February - so just trying to guess what I could possibly weigh by then and what size I may be in. I am currently in a 3x / 20 at 223 lbs (5'1).
As I said, I know nothing will be EXACTLY the same, but would be nice to have a vague idea. Would be nice to to shopping now, for some summer clothes lol.
You can see in my signature how much I have lost. Started at 235.
You shouldn't bother shopping now for any clothes
I had surgery in October and went to Florida in February, had to buy clothes there since no summer stuff was in the stores here in Seattle at the time. Small price to pay, it was fine with me.
But really, don't waste your money. There's no way you can know how you will be fitting in to clothes then. Honestly I don't know how I'll be fitting in to clothes in a month. Figuring I must be near The End, I just bought some great size 8 shorts, but after two weeks they are too big. Let it go, enjoy the journey :)

It works if you work it; it sorta works if you sorta work it; and it doesn't work if you don't work it.

use this to see what the averages would look like for your weight loss. I was pretty much ahead of where this said most of the time, until the end. It won't tell you sizes but will give you an idea of how much you will have lost.
Everyone is different so remember that. And one person can weigh 120 and be in an 0 and another one in a 8. I can wear anything from 4 to 8 depending on the clothes.

Yes I kept track. I copied it from my profile for you. I started at a similar size, though I weighed more, I am a few inches taller too. Now I am a size 10 and a few 8s. Dont try to gues what size you will be in 5 mo. impossible to tell !
