Starting weight 300 Day of surgery 270 Today 190 Lbs to goal 40 Started with a 24-28 pants and 2-3x top am currently in a 14-16 pants and x-xl top Ring size went from 9to 6.5 Biggest not so positive change........... I have been having problems with a drop in energy, and there seems to be no reason for it. Best WOW to date........................ I think the best was getting below 200lbs, I hadn't been below 200 since my teens.

Well, I'm a little over a month away from my 1 year anniversary, and there have been so many positive changes in my life. What a wonderful tool this is. Highest weight 358lbs Day of Surgery weight 286lbs Today weight 172lbs My Dr set my goal at 193lbs (which seemed high for me) so I'm 11 pounds under that goal. My goal was 175lbs so I'm 3 pounds under that YEAH!!!! MY next goal is to hopefully get to 158lbs so I can say that I have lost 200lbs. Top size 5-6x Top size now Med-Lge Pant size 4-5x Pant size now 14 Bra size 52c/d Bra size now 38b Biggest positive change- Being able to so so much more, climb steps ladders and not be afraid if the ladder will hold me. Run!!! Biggest not positve change-- Hair loss ( still having a problem with that ) , always being cold and having too low of blood pressure ( still having medicing adjusted). Sagging skin (YUCK!!!) Best WoW!-- I've had quite a few... HItting and surpassing my goals.. 300lbs, 250lbs, 200lbs, 193 (dr goal), 175lbs (my goal)... getting any positive comments from family, friends and co-workers...

Okie dokie, I'll post mine. I do feel like I'm one of those who failed this surgery though my setbacks have been from other health issues. My doc seems to be of the same opinion too. Day of surgery weight...283 (291 at consult) Today...205 Lbs from goal (or are you at goal?)...65 (goal is 140) Top size pre-op...32 when I weighed 328, 26 at time of surgery Today...16 or L/XL Bottom size pre-op...same as tops Today...12/14petite Shoe....11W Today...8 1/2N Bra....54I Today...40DD Ring...10 1/4 Today...7 1/2 (bought a silver band at Walmart until I know what size I'll need.A jewelery recommened that I only rezise my ring 1 time because the setting is so intricate) Biggest positive change other than weight/size...I'm off half of the medications I was taking. No more diabetes and my PCOS is in remission. Biggest not so positive change other than weight/size...I've lost so much in my legs, that they aren't supporting my upper body. I'm all big tummy now, the rest looks boney, lol. Makes buying clothes a real challenge. Exercising is difficult too, plus I'm getting cortisone injections in my spine, taking steriods and might have to start using a walker until I can have plastics to remove the excess skin around my middle. Second one, my hair has fallen out again and this time lots of it went. I'm darn near bald!! Best WOW to date...Is also my funniest moment. I went home to Texas this summer to spend 6 weeks with my parents. My dad came to pick me up. I stood in front of him saying "Dady" and he kept looking around for me. I had to wave my hand in his face and grab his shirt before he realized it was me. Starla

Hey Starla! I'm glad you posted...you are NOT a failure...look at your stats! The size changes alone are incredible! Then there's the diabetes, PCOS and med changes...those are the most important changes to your life over weight loss. If you are having other medical issues, your weight loss will be affected and you're not a failure, you just hit a bump in the road that might take time to get over. I LOVE your WOW...that is tooooo funny! Keep us posted on your progress and good luck with your medical issues! Christine

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. I'm a little slow in responding, been on bedrest for my back so I can go swim at the gym this week. Starla

Day of surgery 284 Today 186 Lbs from goal 21 Size pre-op 22, 2XL Today 12, M/L Biggest positive change- Happier with myslef, comfortable in my skin, feel much better Biggest not so positive change- My butt hurts if I sit too long, and I can't get attached to my clothes Best WOW to date- EVERYTHING! Congrats to everyone!

Day of surgery (11/21) weight: 251 In hospital weight (due to complications): 261 Today: 157 Lbs from goal: 18 but everyone tells me I'm skinny and don't need to lose any more weight Top size pre-op: 1X Today: M and a few S Bottom size pre-op: 20 Today: mostly 8's, a few 10's (due to style and cut) and a few 6's Biggest positive change: I'm healthy and it shows! Biggest not so positive change: I'm spending way too much money on clothes! My DH is so wonderful though because he manages the budget to accomodate my expanded wardrobe. Biggest WOW to date: So many! To name a few, I look younger than my 46. My husband loves the healthier me. Exercising with T-Tapp (and taking the skin tightening supplements) has transformed me so much that I have minimum excess skin and leaner muscles. Last month, the creator Teresa Tapp, even told me that she couldn't tell that I had gastric bypass surgery. Look for the inclusion of this type of exercise in Dr Perricone's new book which will be released 11/21. I glow both inside and outside. Anyway, to all, continued success in our journey towards a normal bmi and a healthier body.
