2 years out May 12th!!!
Just wanted to share that I am 2 years out!! It has been a ride for sure. My head is still trying to catch up with my body.
My weight loss really slowed down after the 8th month but I really would only like to lose about another 11 pounds and I met my doctors goal. I can wear an 8-10 pants depending on who makes it and I wear a med top. I just bought my first bikini!!! I could not be happier. I have not had any complications from the RNY itself. I just had my blood work done and I am doing great with my vitimans because everything was within normal limits...a little on the low side, but still normal.
God Bless!

Congrats on your success!
I took a peek at your profile and pics, you are gorgeous! You must be a busy gal with those kids of yours, you all look so happy. I'm sure you are enjoying being more active with them.
I'm 5'11" also, I have never been at a normal weight, I'm about 8 mos out from my RNY and have lost around 130 lbs, I have no idea what my fighting weight will be. I know everyone is different, but I'm starting to want a goal weight to shoot for. My surgeon has not set a weight for me, he says to wait a little. I was thinking around 170 to 180.
Thank you for posting your success and sharing your pics!

Thank you for your reply...it is not often I find someone as tall as we are and I am always wondering what a good weight is for my height. I am happy with being 170lbs, but I would really like to have a cushion of about 5 to 10 lbs to play with.
130 lbs loss is sooo wonderful!!! Congrats on that!!
