My highest weight was 440 at time of surgery and I'm down to kissing distance to 310 (today was 310.5!)

P.S. thanks for your response on the RNY board - it made perfect sense to me!

When I had my consult with the surgeon, he said I could expect to loose 120 to 150lbs the first year, with strict diet and exercise. That makes my first goal 197lbs.
In my mind I have a goal weight of 150-170lbs. That's what I weighed in high school and tho I have always been bottom heavy, I think I looked fine back then, even though I was a size 16. I also could do anything, physically, that I wanted to do.
I asked the surgeon if this was a reasonable long term goal and he said yes, but of course I'd have to stick to diet and exercise. So there you have it.
It's driving me crazy, as the lowest I have ever gotten post-op was 212 lb (and I can't figure out how I made it to 212, I think it was the week I kept horking up dinner). Right now, my body seems to be quite happy in the low 220s, but I am definitely not happy in the low 220s so I am working on an aggressive adjustment in food intake/exercise. I think I need to rethink my decision to quit the evening aquacise class. I didn't like it much and didn't feel like it was doing anything, but I think it must have been doing something.

Highest "recorded" weight was 374. Currently sitting at 270. Surgeon's goal is a LAUGHABLE 135 pounds. My goal is 148 which was a great weight for me when I felt good about myself. I'll be happy with 165-170 and then hopefully get to around 150 after plastics. But that's a ways off for me!
Congrats again on your surgiversary and your loss to date.
