how much have you lost?
I have lost 84 lbs since my surgery on May 3, 2004. At the time of my surgery, I weighed 268 lbs; I am now at 184. I'm 5'6", so I still have a way to go, but I can't get over how wonderful I already feel, and I think I look great too. I'm wearing a size 12 jeans today; for the most part, I am comfortable in 12-14's. That is exactly 1/2 the size I was 6 months ago. I am so full of energy all the time, I run just about everywhere I go.
I feel like the last few decades were just a nightmare that I'm waking up from.
Well my weight a week before surgery was 148. I was 168 day of release from hospital, so that was my highest weight(4 days after surgery) and now I weigh 164. So total weight loss is 104 lbs. I never no which weight to count through. The 248 or the 268...hmm
I had my surgery May 17. I am 5'6 and 165 was my drs goal. My goal is 135.

SOmeone asked for suggestions to step it up? I gave the advise to a friend of mine who is 3mo p/o to add one more protein shake to her day and she lost 8 lbs last week. She was THRILLED!! I added an extra protein shake and I lost 4.5lbs last week. Well good luck to all and CONGRATS to everyones awesome weight loss.
