I could go from this....



To this......



In just a year! 

May 5,2009 Dr Reyes @ Reynolds Army Hospital helped me change my life for the better. I am down right at 90 lb depending on the day of the week LOL. And will be having my TT & Upper Arm Lift May 27,2010. Life is good

I have not lost as much as I hoped, but I will say I am happy with where I am and I am close to my goal of 160lb. I think it is all about making the changes and looking at it as a journey that never ends. I am in the process of doing consults for plastics, my  tummy needs to be tucked (it will make exercise easier) and I am hoping to have that done plus a Brachioplasty the end of May. I never wanted to be 130lb (like a 5'1" woman should be) I am more a 150-160lb body type and I am happy with the results I have gotten with my RNY.

I know with the band it is a longer process to get to goal, so keep on the right path and I am sure you will make it to your goal.

Just wanted to touch base and see how everyone is doing? I had my surgery May 19, 2009. Last I weighed myself, which has been a few months, I was down 49lbs and 27 inches. Needless to say I'm not quite a happy camper. While I will take alot of responsibility for my weight loss slowing down, have not exercised all winter. I do get all my water in, altho lately I'm having a hard time eating anything. I'm just not hungry and food makes me nausea. Take yesterday, I had my protein shake in the mid morning, a glass of oj when I woke up, then a salad for dinner, that's it.

Is anyone else struggling or has struggled since their surgery?

Plus alot is going on at home, so my head hasn't been in the game either!

Thanks for reading....

Has anyone hit the century mark and are you happy with your current weight loss or are you pushing for more loss?  I’m currently 126lbs since I started my 2 week liquid diet.   According to my nut this is pretty much it. I may lose or gain 10lbs from here on if I say on track.   Personally I would like to lose 10 – 15 lbs more and put some THAT back on as muscle.   Overall I’m as happy as lark with my tool. 

That's awesome!  Good for you!
I've lost 116 lbs as of today AND I hit a normal BMI!  Woo hoo!!!  This surgery is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Keep up the good work!
