Roll Call

Hi Everyone! Wow what a bunch of losers I am 5'6" I had lost 19 lbs. before surgery, I went into sugery weighing 260. I now weigh 205, and waiting impatiently to slide under 200. I feel like I've been a sloooow loser, but I also have not been faithful with my exercising. I confess. Just can't seem to get into a routine. I like to walk, but need to do more of it. Hopefully nicer weather will help this problem. I have very much enjoyed all the compliments and being able to wear 16's and 18's feels pretty darn good. I would love to get down to a 10!! Way to go Gang! TTFN~Debi 260/205/150?

Hi to everyone and congrads to you all!! I started at 5'2" and a whopping 354. I haven't gotten on the scale this month but as of my 4 month mark I was 277. Things slowed way down for me 2 months ago but I can't exercise because of back problems so I expected to loose slowly. But as long as I'm loosing I'm overjoyed. I lose about 2 to 3 pounds a week now. Good Luck to you all, Stes

I started at 350 lbs. I am down to 271 for a total of 79 lbs. gone. I have hit some major plateaus, and was hoping to hit the century mark by my month anniversary, but am not sure now. 21 lbs. is a lot to lose in 5 weeks. But I will give it a go. I try to stay on the south beach diet to keep the carbs at bay, they really hurt me. I have also been keeping an eye on my fat content, trying to stay below 30-35%. I have not really dropped any sizes, my belly is still too big. But through my shoulders, everything is big. But I feel good, and exercise every day! Pam

I am 5'7" and on day of surgery I was 274. As of Sunday I am at 202. 72 lbs gone!! I want to be in the "ONEs" so bad. I have kicked up my walking in hopes of getting there by weeks end. That will be one of my goals. Next goal is the century club.

My highest wt was 348 lbs, I lost 30lbs in 4 months prior to surgery. I had my surgery in Cincinnati, Ohio and my surgeons name is Dr. Trace Curry. I am down -90 since surgery ! and -120 from my highest wt. I'm still a fattie, but a much lighter one now. I have had a recent slowdown in weight loss also, but I can see where my shoulders have gotten smaller, my bra's are once again getting too big around, trying to keep "them" rolled up in place...lol I'm no longer a "solid fat" but am quickly turning squishy "c'mere little squishy" quoting Dora there. lol Oh and if anyone is still fighting for a protein supplement, I found a good one that you can check out through my www button. I love this stuff, less than 3 oz's and 25 g's of protein. Tastes good also, good enough I wish that it was a full size drink at times. Hugs & prayers,

ooops and I am 5'6 on most days.

I had Lap RNY on 11/22/04. I started at 335 lbs at 6 feet tall. I am now under 250 for a 85 lb or so loss. I started at a solid 26/28, and now I am knocking on size 20's door! My loss has slowed too, but so has my activity! Can't wait to be under 200!! Keep up the good work....I think that we all are slowing down some!

Hello, I am 5'4" and my pre-surgery weight was 345. I currently weigh 275 as of today which makes my weight loss 70 pounds. I would like to reach the century mark by the end of May but if not at least I am still losing. I lose anywhere from 12-15 pounds a month and I feel great! I exercise daily and I am actually starting to love it! This surgery was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I love coming to this forum because I feel like I share so much with all of you because we had our surgeries in the same month. LaNee
