Duodenal Switch (Lap) 01-24-11 | Surgeon: Stephen Boyce | High weight: 250 in 2002 | Surgery weight: 203 | Lowest weight: 121 | Current weight: 135 | Goal weight: 135
RNY Jan 2009. I've lost 103 lbs. Maintenance is difficult, but worth it! At my first consultation I weighed 248, surgery day I weighed 235 and I'm now right around 145 every day, give or take a couple of pounds. I need to get a new picture on here - this one is a year old! Also need to update my ticker. I haven't been on here for a long time.
Consult: 248 Day of Surgery: 235 Current: 145
Surgeon's Goal: 140 My Goal: 135

Surgery October '08 - I had 90-100 lbs to lose - I lost 93 to get to goal which was 125. I had lost as low as 121 at one point, but bounced back up to 125-126 range. I'm doing my best to maintain this and needing to change some of my eating habits.
Dr initially wouldn't give me a goal - but eventually said 115. Yes, that may be what I should have went for, but we compromised at 125. I hit that August of '09. I didn't have the problem most do with losing the last few pounds slowly... so I'm thinking that I could have gone lower, but when I hit 125 I just STOPPED. Then 4 months later I lost another 3... and in April of this year I started putting a few pounds back on.
Weight has distributed quite a bit since then. Not sure how happy I am about where some of it went, but not sure how much I can do about it. So - back on track to see what I CAN do about it.

I had RnY and have lost a total of 72 lbs. I have 8 more lbs to surgeons goal and 18 to mine. Though I will say I so totally delighted in what I have already lost!
I will live each day in the mindful present
HW 208/SW 197/CW 115/1st GW 130/2nd GW 120/3rd goal 115/New GW ??/HT 5'2" NO MORE WEIGHT GOALS
In October it will be 2 years since my RNY. My Doctor's goal was 50 lbs. but my personal goal was 75. I started at 203 and dropped to 106 but only stayed there a few days so I don't claim the extra 3 pound loss (97). I bounce between 109 and 112 and I claim 94 pounds loss. My skinny friends say the 3 pounds up or down on a daily basis is equal to one big CRAP!!! I think they are right!!!

RNY 10/15/2008 9+ Years!!! Height: 4' 11" HW: 203 SW: 197 CW: 119 on Maintenance
I had RNY 8/3/09. I have lost 104 pounds as of this morning. I have 4.5 more to go to my surgeon's goal and I would like to lose another 15-20 after that to have some bounce back.
I haven't been a faithful exercise person so I might could have lost more if I had been more consistent. I'm happy where I am. It is a lot slower now.
