Which I love!! 11 lbs to be under 200!! whoooo hoooooo!!! good luck everbody, seems like everyone is doing awesome ~Mary

Hi. I really like this June group, it helps me feel like I am right on target. Thank you everyone. My surgery was on 6/17. Starting weight at 250, now am 203 so a 47 pound loss. I had horrible complications the first 1 1/2 months but I am doing very well now. This surgery is tough for type 1 diabetics I have learned. I do a three mile walking tape daily (well, most days.) Good luck to everyone, stay well, eat sensibly, and good luck to all !!!!!!!!!

well I have lossed 35 lb it is very slow for me I have big pouch and had to have the VGB I wanted the RnY not happy about it all but I am working with it walking evey day and counting cal 700-1000 limit my food to 3 meals and one or two snack no more I record it all every bit and water water water **** it's hard but I am doing it all ! that dame scale just will not move! no dumping with the VBG but it is hard not to get into the suger the fat is not so hard except for butter so I do not even go there . it got to work realy passed I did not get the RnY it a big let down the whole thing allyson

Had a lap RNY on June 14th Starting weight 276 after surgery, down 55 pounds so far. I walk at least 4 miles 5 days a week on a treadmill at the gym, some days I do 5 to 6 miles. Also work out with weights and play raquetball on weekends. Started in a tight size 28 jeans, now wearing a size 18. Size L to XL tops, but I carry the weight in the legs and hips. I can eat anything (haven't tried sweets yet) and have not dumped. No hair loss either. I feel wonderful......lots of energy. Cravings for sweets are gone. I crave meat now when I'm eating something artificially sweetened like a protein bar. Breads are too filling so I stay away from them. I pretty much live on meat and dairy with some veggies and fruit thrown in for variety. I eat what I like so I thoroughly enjoy my food. Good luck to all! Will update next month!

Hello Everyone, wow, everyone's doing so good !! I'm a slow loser, but I guess looking at the big picture, since I lost 28 lbs before surgery in the months of "waiting for a date", I'm on target too Starting weight March '04 : 334 Preop weight June '04 : 206 Open RNY 6/23/04 current wt: 262 - 44 lbs total loss since March :72 lbs YEAH!!! walking at least once a day, sometimes twice , 1-2 miles depending on weather conditions/ gazelle every day at least 15 minutes hair loss: THANK goodness I have enough.. but it needs to stop soon 80 oz water, no problems with any foods ( not brave enough to even try sugar, though ) no complications at all Andrea

pre-op weight 321 current 270 down 51# I have not been good about the walking and working out. I am going to try. The protein drinks are getting YUCK to me I am going to try some new ones!!! This is a great place to feel in touch with others in the same place. Thanks to all that post!!!

Surgery date: 06/16/04 Pre-op weight: 303 lbs Post-op weight as of 08/05/04: 227 lbs Drinking lots of water, eating protiens bars twice a day along with Isopure shakes twice a day. Some hair loss. Working out 3-4 times per week consisting of 30-45 minutes of cardio followed by 45 minutes of weights.

starting weight - 255 surgery date - 6/7/04 (RNY LAP) I'm down 48 lbs I still dump on chicken and CAN'T drink right after eating. I know I'm not supposed to drink, but washing my food down prior to surgery was a bad habit. Now, I've only tried it about five times, but all ended with the "foamies."

Lap rny 6-24 370 lbs today 302 68 lbs and only 2 more to finally be under 300 , its been 13 years since i saw 2 something clothes getting big on me, feels nice to fit again. no dumping or complications so far so good// pammy
