Slow Loser

I had my surgery on 4/8/05 and I have lost 71 lbs, so you are doing better than me. Although, I am hard on myself, I am also very proud of myself. I think i am doing well. I have lost tons of inches and I am down from a snug 24 to size XL on top and Sz16 on bottom. It has been 10 years sice I have been that size. So, don't beat up on yourself you are doing great!

Stacie, What I would give to have lost 80 lbs. at this point! I started at 234 and had my lap/RNY on 4/28/05. I have lost 45 lbs. and am now at 189, I'm only 5'2" and I think that you're doing great! I really don't mind losing slower than alot of other people. I haven't lost hair yet and am really hoping and praying that somehow I can avoid that. I started taking Biotin a month before my surgery. I do know that I'm losing inches, I'm having to buy new clothes about every 2-3 weeks. Off to WalMart I go! Keep up the good work. Susan

I am almost 5 months out and at 77 pounds gone forever!!! I am losing at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week now and that is just fine with me!! I hope to be at my surgeons goal by christmas and I will decide then if I want to lose more. You are doing great keep up the good work!! Jennifer 252/175/130-150??

I am almost 5 months out and have only lost 40 pounds, so I would be ecstatic with an 80 pound loss in 4 months.
