Question:
Reaching goal weight and starting out in the 300"s
I wanted to know if anyone has rached at least 150lbs with a starting weight around 343lbs. I am getting a little worried that I wont reach my goal. I have lost a total of 77lbs. I had surgery on 7/9/09. Gettting discourage — DonnaRo (posted on November 10, 2009)

Hang in there, it sounds like you're doing great. I started out at 340,
had surgery exactly one year ago today, and I weight 175 right now (165 lbs
lost so far). My weight loss has slowed down, but I am still dropping
clothes sizes. Don't get hung up on the number on the scale... after 77
pounds I know you are feeling better. You'll get there!

I had surgery 9/05/08 - started at 323. I now weight 153. I had lost
around 80lbs in the same time frame as your 77lbs! Right on track!
I have stopped losing weight but probably could lose some more if I reduced
my calories again.

Hi, Ihad my surgery May 2008 and started at 343 lbs and currently at 175
lbs. I wouldn't get so hung up on the numbers on the scales. Go by how you
feel and what your doc has to say. Remember the reason you had the surgery
in the first place was for your health not for the numbers on the scale.
Just keep following the program and you'll do OK.

I had my surgery RNY On July 1, 2008. I started the process in March of
"07. I was 347. Right Now I;m at 146. Keep doing what you need to
do..give yourself a pat on the back. You will get there..it takes time and
work.
Congratulations for doing this for yourself.

Last night at WLS support group, a very wise lady reminded us all that this
isn't a race. This is about your health. Stay with the basics (high
protein, low carbs, lots of water, vitamins, exercise), and you will feel
better not only physically but mentally. Enjoy the journey.

My friend started at 354, and she is now 150 pounds, she had surgery in
July 2008, and her last weight (last week) was finally 150, so I say yes it
is possible! Just follow the rules and guidelines with food and exercise
and you can do it too!

Hello! I had lap RNY in Sept. of 2006. My starting weight was 350 lbs and
I weigh today 147. I had reached 175 lbs (which was my surgeon's goal at
1 year to the day). I reached my goal of >150 by 15 months. So - hang
in there - as long as you follow the program you can get there.
