Hi everyone! Such tremendous success on this page!
Here's my story:
Surgery 11/04/03 -- Surgery for Leak 11/12/03 (wasn't an easy start ...)
Pre-op weight: 252 lbs.
Current weight: 172 lbs.
Total weight loss: 80 lbs.
Goal weight: My doctor's - 155 lbs. Mine - 130 lbs. I hope I make mine ... eventually!
My doctor tells me I'm doing fine, because I get concerned that I'm not losing enough. In his words, I'm a "little girl" (read: short) and it doesn't take as much fuel to heat the furnace, so I'm not going to lose like other people. Okay .... yet another perk to being short!!
Disappointment/impatience aside, I've gone from size 22 clothing to size 12 -- yay!!!!! I haven't had to look in the direction of the plus sized dept. for some time now. I work out about 4 days a week, so even though I've barely lost any lbs. lately, my clothes keep getting bigger. I must be building a lot of muscle underneath all my saggy skin!

Starting Weight: 402 pounds
Current Weight 276 pounds
Total loss: 126 pounds
Goal weight?.. let's see i am only 5'2 small boned.. so i should be maybe 120 pounds?.. not sure.. but feeling great, and when i walk now.. what goes though my thoughts are.. " Oh My God!! So this is what life is all about... how great"... I never thought i would love to walk...
I've lost over 100lbs. I started at 268 and I have not weighed in a while. Here are a few updated pics from my trip to Nawlins. I will keep them up until tomorrow.

Ok, here it is!
surgery 11/3/04
Started at 348
Now at 198
total loss -150lbs!
My goal is 125
Dr. doesn't really set a goal said if I get to 145 he will be totally thrilled and consider me a 100% success! I am 5'4 ( I was 5'3" before surgery after 100 lbs I measured because I noticed that was taller than my sister!) so I would be happier at 125, although I feel so much better and have improved my health so much I would be happy at 145 if that is where I end up. Weight loss has slowed, but I just got out of the hospital 3 days for kidney stones! Never had a problem before, anybody else having trouble with kidney stones?
