Question:
Anyone 5 foot 6 292 pre-op?

Hi! I'm looking for someone who is built like me! I'm 5 foot 6 and weigh 292. I am an apple in every sense of the meaning. No legs, No butt. I carry all of my weight in the middle. I want to follow someone a little ahead of me and see how they do. I know no 2 people are alike, I have spent months reading through profiles and have yet to find someone in my range. Thanks.

Hi Nicole, I was 289, 5'6. I am currently 145 pounds and very happy. I do not want to lose anymore weight, so have increased my food intake to stop the loss. I was really a slow loser, but have had no problem getting the weight off. My weight goes up and down 1 pound, but never anymore than that. Good Luck.

My pucture on my site is when i was a size 14 tight 12. I also have had a reduction and lift waiting on my tummy tuck. Hope this helps some. Sarah

I'm sorry I should have given my info. I had surgery on 9/18/02. I had lap RNY. I have lost about 90 pounds. I feel like this is it. I have been at the same week for almost a month. I have enjoyed reading all of your profiles and thank you for replying :)

Nicole, I noticed that at 6 months my wieghtloss really slowed down. Don't worry, your not done, but you may have to work harder now. I had also thought I was done at about 6 months out but I dropped another 45lbs. I have been at my weight now for about 3 months. I do have my TT, breastlift and brachioplasty on March 31, so that should put me at my goal of 160ish.

I started at 304 and am 5' 6.5". I was a slow loser, but have gotten down to 158 pounds, size 8. I'd like to lose another couple of pounds to get to my surgeon's goal, but this is good too :)

I have had my arms done and a boob job too! I'm very ppeased with all fo that. <><>>><<I'm having a lower body lift in 2 weeks that's a tummy tuck and butt lift and then I'll be there. I also work out with a triner 2 x a week and walk/run 3 miles 3 x a week. I'm really into fitness now and it has made a MAJOR diffrerence in both my attitude and body contour. My BMI was 49. It's now 26.8!!
