Looking for posties with my body type...

Since I have recently been told that I will have to wait until Nov. for my surgery (I have been approved tho', wahooo!), I have plenty of time to just ask questions that aren't necessarily important- just curiousity type ones. Here is my post for the day- I am 5'6, currently weigh 312lbs. and am what most would consider "big boned". I am having RNY (lap). I would love to hear from those with close to the same body types and surgery. I know everyone is different, but how has your weight loss went? When was most of it lost and are you struggling to get those last pounds off? People are asking me all the time "how much do you want to lose?". I have no idea. Since I am big boned, I cannot see myself at 140lbs. I am thinking more around the range of 160-170lbs. I will be exercising as soon as I can. Did you work out and if so, how did it help with your lose? Did some types of exercise work better than others? Humor me, please! Thank you!
