Officially at 5 Months!!

Well people, like most of you I am at 5 months TODAY! I have lost a total of 61 pounds! Thank you for listening. I was wondering how the rest of you are doing. I began at 240. Does anyone have a similar starting weight and how much have you lost so far? Tracy

Tracy, I'm pretty close to your beginning weight. I started at 238 lbs and lost 65 lbs. Its amazing that we all lost so much weight. What is your goal weight? Mine is 120lbs because I'm short. Linda

That is my goal also. I am only 5' 1". I used to say I wasn't overweight, I was under tall.

too funny.... I'm the same height too. I figured that will be a good weight amount to be at and finally be normal with my weight. I dont want to get too skinny and look sickly...lol.

Hey Tracy! I am a day ahead of you and I started at 245. I have lost 55 lbs and I am 5'5. I have had no problems to speak of. I can eat most anything and have only dumped twice. I am having some trouble with head hunger and giving in. Just when you think you have it beat, somethings happens and then you slip. Some days are really hard. Leanne

You are doing great! I thought we are at 6 months out now! This is July already! I am going for my 6 month appointment today.......... I will let everyone know how it goes! Keep up the good work Hun!

Hi Tracy, I started at 233 and have lost 61 lbs. also! My goal weight is 130, so I am slowly getting there. Isn't it great?!!! Kim R/az Open RNY 1/26/04 233/172/130

Tracy -- you are doing great! I had my open RNY on 1/14/04 so I will be 6 months out on July 14th -- just 9 days from now. My "official" weight before the surgery was 245, but my highest weight was 260. I'm 54 years old and 5'2" tall. I went to my PCP last Thursday for my B-12 shot and I weighed in at 172. So since my surgery I've lost 73 pounds and I'm down 87 pounds from my highest pre-surgery weight. Isn't clothes shopping much more fun these days?? I bought a pair of denim (non stretch!) shorts today -- size 14 in the regular ladies department. No more plus sizes for me! I just wish that they would make tops with longer sleeves...my upper arms are a mess...sigh. But if I have to choose between flabby arms or weighing 260 pounds, I'll take the flabby arms any day!
