woo hoo! Welcome.  I've recently made it to onderland myself.  In fact we had surgery only a few days apart.  I was 12/9.  Keep up the good work!

Finally I am at 198.4. ** pounds lost since 12-6-2010 and a total of 131 pounds gone. Still need to lose 50 pounds for my goal.

Way to go!!!!!

Went to the doc on Thursday for my 6 mo check up but really its been almost 7. I officially have lost 100 pounds. Wow what a journey. With the loss comes a great NSV. The nurse who helped me through all of my pre surgery paperwork and testing didn't even reconize me when I went in. She called my name and I stood up then she called it again and I had to tell her that was me. That felt really good.

I also bought some pants in a regular section of the store yesterday. I haven't been able to do that for more than 20 years. Yeah.

Hi, everyone! I didn't know this board was here either! I had RNY on 12/22/10. I have my "6-month followup" tomorrow, but it will really be almost 7 months post op. From my highest of 380 I have now lost 120 lbs, but I think the more you have to lose the more quickly you lose at first. I think you're doing great. I know about the frustrating part, but just write down all of your non-scale victories and look at your before pics. I can't WAIT to be under 200 again one day.

The last three months have been much slower than the first four, so I'm getting used to that. The problem now is that I can't even imagine being smaller than I am right now. I haven't been this size for almost 20 years. I'm about the size I remember allllllllways being. That's a mental hurdle I'm facing right now.

Well, just wanted to say and introduce myself. I'm going to try to check in every few days to see what's going on with folks on here. It helped me so much those first few weeks to know I wasn't alone!
