How much have YOU lost?

I started this thread at one and (I think?) three months post op...Why not have an 11-month check up? Our REbirthdays are right around the corner! Height: 5'8" (surprise surprise, I've grown two inches since I had my surgery! Probably because my back isn't bent over so badly!) Pre-Op weight: 315 lbs. Pre-Op BMI: 45.5 Post-Op weight: 165 lbs. Post-Op BMI: 25.5 Goal Weight: My goal was 160...I'll meet it before the one year mark, and probably go down even farther, whoo-hoo! Total Weight Lost So Far: 145 lbs. I feel very, very lucky. I've never noticed any plateus, and never noticed any gains...I only weigh myself every two weeks now. I'm SO very happy with everything...Even with the neuropathy, I would do it ALL over again in a heartbeat. I posted some new photos in my profile the other day, if anyone wants to take a gander. So...Now that my info is public...Time for YOU to brag, too! I'm proud of you all! ~Sabby

Height: 5'7" Grew 1 Inch Pre-Op weight: 297 Pre-Op BMI: 46 Post-Op weight: 149 lbs. Post-Op BMI: 24.5 Goal Weight:145 Total Weight Lost So Far: 148 lbs. Pre-Op Size 24/26 Post-Op Size 6 I began this journey a very sick person . I was Diabetic ... I had 11 surgeries prior to remove tumors . I could not walk barely due to the weight . NOW... I am diabetic free ...I can Run ! I have more energy now then I know what to do with . My health is awesome !!! I am so full of life now . I would do this surgery everyday to get the results I have . I am now trying to get the last 5 pounds off but I am not sweating it . It will happen . My biggest Goal is to become an advocate of this surgery , I have done that by starting the first Gastric Bypass Support group here in my area . I want to scream it from the roof tops ... I am happier now of who I am than I have ever been . I only wish I had done this years ago .. But the wait was worth it . Take care . Natalie

OK, finally, I am just too excited!! I started out at 270...5'4"...although my kids say I am shorter...but, I am not. I am now at 190...and still 5'4". I have finally gotten off my plateau, of about 5 months, and lost 10 pounds these last two weeks. I started walking again, mostly everyday, when it doesn't rain!! But, it seems like I am eating more. Go figure!! I will take it!! So I have lost...80 pounds!! Oh Yeahh!!!!! Someone needs to add these up, the next one to post...I am not the best at math!! Jeannie

Ok, I couldn't wait... 145 148 80 373 pounds gone forever!!!! Isn't it amazing!!!!!! Love to do this!!!! Keep adding to the total amount!! Jeannie

Hi Height - 5'2 1/2" (I think, I am going to check that at my next visit at the end of may.) Pre-Op weight: 247 lbs Pre-Op BMI: 44.5 Post-Op weight: 145 lbs. Post-Op BMI: 26.1 Goal Weight: 130 - 15 more pounds to goal. I feel that I'll meet my dr's goal at around 13-14 months post-op. I am losing very slow these past few months. I am going to be posting a new picture on my profile, probably sometime this weekend. I am so much more healthier now. I am off my bp meds and can bend over to tie my shoe. I can exercise for an hour now, before I was lucky if I could move around for 10 minutes. I have so much more energy, I can run around and play with my daughter, jumprope, etc. Lets all keep up the good work!! Tricia

Hi! pre op weight 254 today's weight 149 Total weight loss 105 pounds!!!!! Before surgery, I was on high blood pressure meds, acid reflux meds, my knees were so bad I had 2 knee surgeries. Now I am off all meds, I can fly up a flight of stairs!! This is the best thing that I have ever done for myself, and my family!!! Even though I have been stuck at 149 for well over a month, it's okay. I know the scale will eventually move. I would like to go down another 15 pounds. Take Care Everyone, Teri
