How Much Have You Lost

Lap DS 11/03/03 highest weight 323 pre-op weight 317 current weight 197 pounds lost 120 (from pre-op weight) goal weight 150-165 (32-47 more pounds) If I never lost another pound I would be very happy with my results but I am still losing steadily 8-12 pounds/month with 10 months left in my window!

I started at 232 lbs on Nov 21, 2003......size 22 150 lbs on July 2, 2004.......size 8 loss of 82 lbs. I am a normal weight my dr is happy now but I would be happier to see another 20 lbs go away. by the end of the year. Then I want to maintain around 130-135 forever. Good Luck Tricia

Surgery Date: 11/13/03 Starting weight: 310 lbs Current weight: 175 lbs Total loss: 135 lbs Goal weight: 150 lbs First I would like to congratulate all of us for doing so well. The WLS is an answer to my prayers, as I am sure it is for all of you as well. The quality of my life has improved so much, I can hardly believe it. When I see people I have not seen for a while (pre-surgery) they do not recognize me at all. I love it. I just walk up to them and say "You don't know who I am, do you?" I love seeing the look on their faces when they realize who I am. As some of you have said, if I do not lose another pound I would be happy, but now I am greedy and would like to reach my goal. I started at size 28 and now am wearing a 14 and some 12's. Yesterday I tried on my daughter's skirt and it is a size 10. Woo Hoo, was I shocked that I could zip it up.

Hi Surgery Date 11/10/2003 Lap RYN proximal Starting weight 309 lbs Current weight 235 lbs Total loss 74 lbs Goal weight 140 lbs I am half way there and all though I feel 100% better then when I started, it's kind of disappointing that I am losing so slowly. Hopefully it's a good thing. I still have the fear that I will stop losing and never be below a size 18/20 which I am in right now. The good thing is I can't remember being in that size. I continue to follow the program and am now working out at least three times a week at a place similar to Curves. Reading everyone's accomplishments encourages me to keep the faith and I wish everyone the greatest success on his or her continued journeys. Happy Fourth of July to all. Darlene

Surgery Date 11/26/03 Starting weight 345 lbs Current weight 225 lbs Total loss to date 120 lbs Goal weight 175 lbs That is another 50 lbs to go, hope to hit it by my anniversary date!!! I feel awesome and love to look at before and after pictures of myself. It is taking longer to get the "mental" picture of the results in my head. Everyone is excited and happy with the "new" me!!!!!

Surgery Date 11/03/2003 Starting weight 306 lbs Current weight 183 lbs Total loss 123 lbs Goal weight 170 lbs I too am happy where I am at; but the doc says... I should be able to lose another 10 lbs before the one year mark. That would give me a 'normal' BMI going to the gym a few days a week; I should be able to make it. Great job everyone. It's nice to be a member of this "LOSING" family. hugs to all mark g.
