10 months

Hi I am 10 months post laprascopic roux en -y had my surgery 8/19/02 and I have lost 124 lbs with just 6 lbs to the goal that I wrote down before surgery which seemed an impossible goal. I am wearing size 6/8 clothes and just love to shop! life is wonderful and I am really happy but I am getting too comfortable with my food and occasionally eat the wrong foods...so need to get back on track so that I can lose those last 6 lbs..even though everone says that I have lost enough!Hope all you other August 2002 bypass buddies are doing well.

I had my surgery on august the 5th and I can't believe it has been almost a year!!! I lost 140 lbs since then and I feel comfortable with my weight!! Now I am looking forward to TT! Hope for everyone that they experience was just as great as mine! Would do it again, no questions asked.

hello "10 monthers", i'm right there with you! i had my lap RNY on 8-15-02 in hickory, nc and have lost 132 pounds so far and am in a size 10. i am 5 pounds from my goal of 170 lbs. i'm 5'11", so 170 for me will be GREAT! i, like both of you, have had a SUPER experience and am so thankful for the changes and blessings in my life now. i LOVE participating in life instead of watching it from the sidelines! and SHOPPING, i can't get enough of it!! LOL!! i finally figured out why, just yesterday... i told my husband that for so long, i would walk by "normal" stores and say "isn't that a cute outfit? but i know they won't have it in MY size..." BUT NOW, i can go into ANY store and buy any outfit (and i seem to be doing just that)! LOL and it looks the way i think it should look!! good luck on your last few pounds...mine are coming off VERY slowly now, but thats ok, i can live with it!! well bye for now! hugs -caroline

Hello, I am almost 11 months post lap rny. I had my surgery August 5, 2002 and I can not believe that it is almost a year... I have lost 106 lbs. I started at 256lbs and am currently 150lbs. I am now losing very slowly and actually have been at a stand still for the past few weeks. I started a new job and haven't been going to the gym like I was, I think that is my problem and not eating real great either. I will be happy if I don't lose another pound but my goal is to get to 135lbs. I have went from a 22-24 to a size 8. I feel wonderful. Thank you GOD....
