1) LAP RNY April 7th, 2003 2) 35 years old/5ft. 11 in. 3) 326# pre-op 4) 246# 7-22-03 (80lbs gone forever) 5) Treadmill (1 mile) daily/exercise video's 6) Goal weight ~ 170 lbs. (At 5'11", 170 is good weight for me.)

Hi everyone. Here are my stats- 1) LAP RNY on 4/3/03. 2) I am 34 yrs old and am 5'6". 3) I weighed 251# on surgery day. 4) Current weight of 189-190=loss around 60#. 5) I try to exercise. I do really well for a week or so going around 4 times a week=cardio all 4 days and weights on 2 of the days- then it seems like I get busy and skip a week. I just can't seem to continue more than a week or so at a time. 6) My personal goal is 150#= doctor goal is 144#. I think it is fun to read about everyone else progress- It also helps me-gives me motivation. Good Job- everyone-keep up the great work!!!!

One week I only lost about 2 lbs and at over 300 I was loosing much more rapidly, I realized I had been drinking alot of apple juice, tomato juice and, juicy juice. This was adding about 600 calories a day to my intake because water was making me gag I was drinking aproximately 48 oz of juice. I stoped and normal weight loss resumed. Leann
