How Much Have You Lost

OK, all you November folks! Roll call! Surgery Date 11/12/2003 Starting weight 338 lbs Current weight 197 lbs Total loss 141 lbs Goal weight 160 lbs

not nearly as much as i should/could have--but oh well, im still less than i was this time last year

open RNY 11/25/03 highest weight 262 current weight 165 total lost 97 pounds I am happy if I never loose another ounce (as long as i maintain at least where I am with no gain) would be ecstatic to loose another 20 though Thank God for WLS... I am now a 'normal' size person and so much happier.

Hi I started at 262.5 and a size 26-28 shoe size 7 1/2 Wide. I am now at 141.5 and a size 6-8 shoe size 6 1/2 regular I still have like 5 or 10 lbs. to lose to get to goal but if i never lost another pound i would be happy. I can't believe that this has happened to me, i used to have dreams about waking up and being thin, not what i was and i used to be so depressed when i would wake up and still be big. but now when i wake up i AM thin!! I am so happy!! I asked my husband if he could imagine 7 months ago that i would look this way now and he said he loved me both ways but i know that our lives have improved so much from this surgery both mentally and physically. I tell the people in my support groups that have just gone through the surgery and are having a hard time that it gets better everyday just hang in there and i promise it will get better and i am living proof of this statement!! so congrats to everyone who was brave enough to have this surgery. it has been ups and downs but was so worth it in the end!!
