Time to check in and see how everyone is doing with the weight loss. I have lost 93.5 pounds to date with my surgery date of Dec 7,'07. How is everyone else doing? Has anyone run into problems? I had to have exploritory surgery due to tears/holes in the mesentary due to the weight loss, but am now healing. Would love to hear how everyone is doing for those with December 2007 surgeries.

I am doing great, haven't even vomitted once.... very boring story actually! I can eat and drink anything... I am a bit of a slow loser- have lost 75lbs since surgery on Dec 17th (I lost 69 pre-op).... I am sooooooooooooooooo looking forward to finally getting out of the 200lb club... just 2 lbs to go!!!!

I am down 118 pounds including the 15 preop pounds! My surgery date was 12-10-07, I have only vomited three times, barb-b-que ribs, chicken breast and sugar free murray oreo cookie, dont know why but didnt work. Other than that my labs have been great I just had to start some b12 and iron but nothing dangerously low.

Hi---you've done awesome! I'll be 6 months on the 19th. I haven't weighed this week but last checked was at 82 lbs loss. I was hoping to hit 100 by 6 mos, but unless I get on the ball next week..that's out of the question =) Sorry you had to go back to the hospital =( I have another ck up first part of July. The only thing with me so far is the surgeon is wanting to ck my opening to my stomach to see if it should be stretched out some bec I'm unable to eat meat. Lately though, I can eat grilled shrimp and I have ate a couple pcs of little cubed chicken that you put on a salad. I still can't eat much of anything else. I have literally lost all of my weight eating soup, mashed/baked potatoes, crackers, fruit for the most part along w/protein shakes. I'm really happy that I've lost my weight but hoping to keep going. It's slowed up so much but I know I need to work out A LOT MORE! Best of luck.. WBS

My date was 12-17-07. I am down 82 pounds. I am so happy. Honestly, I still see the 346 pound women in the mirror. It is just so hard to grasp. I am doing well with food. There are things that make me throw up still. But, I am doing well. Shopping for clothes is so much funner. I can't imagine getting under 200 pounds. I can't remember ever being there. hahahaha The weight loss has slowed so much. I go weeks now without losing a pound. Haven't gained though, so that is good.

RNY date 12/13, down 75 lbs so far not including 12 pre-op lbs! I'm so excited, I'm wearing 18/20's, down from 26's & 28's. I'm a size that I haven't been since 7th grade (1993)! Getting ready for my 10 yr HS reunion at the end of the summer, no-one is going to recognize me! Had a lot of what I refer to as "refunding" (puking) from 5 weeks out until about 2 weeks ago. Had a EGD (scope) done 2 weeks ago, no problems except a little gastritis (redness/swelling) in my pouch, but other than that, my doc said everything looks perfect! Hope everyone else is doing just as well, looks like those who have posted are doing fabulous! Good Luck to all! Here's to happier, healthier lives and reaching our goals!
