In 2003 I weighed 310. In 2005 I had Open RNY, weighing in June 239. as of yesterday I have lost a total of 146 lbs weighing in at 164 lbs a total of 57 inches and my BMI went from 47.6 to 31.2

I use to wear size 32 pants, now in size 12 shorts, and sometimes 14 jeans I use to wear size 4X tops, now can wear juniors large, and regular mediums

I am just 25 lbs from goal, meaning I would like to hit 139 by July 19, 2006, which is my one year WLS Anniversary date.

I noticed my hair is getting better and thicker now, and I eat about 6 meals a day, and manage my protein daily by keeping a journal on my laptop of my daily foods. I'm pretty happy with the 10.5 month outcome and knowing where I've been and what I looked like this time last year.........IT SURE IS A GREAT THING!!! I just needed to share in my WOW moment from yesterday..............and yesteryear!!! Thank you all for your words of encouragement, support and friendship.

Stacey W Happily 24 lbs shy of hitting goal!

That sounds like more then ONE wow moment!!! What a great job you've done!!!! My hair is growing back in now quite a bit (it's definately gonna be super thick again). That's why I cut it all off, I was tired of the frizzy look. So I went to my hair dresser, told her, "see this short frizzy hair? Cut it all off to that length" and she did a great job!!

Laurie, THANK YOU ...........for your words and encouragement. I don't think I could have come this far without the wonderful people on this board. So many have made such an impact on my life. So many.....and I've tried to do the same for others. I want my hair to grow out, and be long again. I miss being able to put my hair into a pony tail. I priced hair extensions........uh, no. How about 400.00 to put them in? Ugh...I'll just let my hair grow out naturally!!! lmao Hugs and thanks!! Stacey W

Dear Nancy, Thank YOU.........I'm in shock myself, because several times I've maintained my weight at about 160's and feel "is this it?" But my surgeon reassured me that as you grow closer to a year out, you stop losing as fast, and I'm so close to goal - this is where the battle begins. It isn't as easy this close to goal, but he said to eat right, exercise more and more and it WILL come off! He GUARANTEES IT! ..... Tho, I wonder, just 'what' kind of guarantee he offers????????? lmao Thanks!! Stacey
