    Highest weight 294
    Current weight 189
    goal weight 130total loss so far 105lbs

    The best wow moment has been on many occasions people do not recognize me.
    I also can go anywhere and people do not stare at me like they used to.
     I started in a size 26/28 and now am in a size 14-16

    I also am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with baby #4. I wasn't quite ready for that to happen. I am scared about weight gain, because my other 3 pregnancies are how I got so overweight in the first place. But I guess it is all in God's plan. I hope everyone is doing well, and continue to have success on their weight loss journey's.

    I have lost 81lbs since my RNY surgery on 4-13-09. That does include weight lost preop. I seem to be losing slower than alot of others but the weight still is coming off 1 lb at a time and thats all that matters to me. I have to admit that i did not exercise until about a month ago, now i walk 2 miles at least 3 times a week. I eat pretty much anything I want now except no sugar, and I try to stay away from white carbs.  I also only take about 2 -3 bites and get full, I have a real big problem with not drinking when i eat, it is something i am working on. I have gone from a size 26/28 to a 18/20 and sometimes a 16/18. I am hoping to be in onederland by my 6 month appt in  oct. If I really work hard I can do it, but if i'm close that's ok too.  I have so much more energy and I notice that people treat me different and smile at me more. I am still adjusting to eating my food too fast and not chewing enough. I don't regret this surgery at all , and i tell anyone that asks me about it that i would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

    I feel the same way as you. I had my RNY on 4/13/09 and I can only get in about 2 sips of protein and then I feel too full or it just tastes too bad to drink. I am going to my post op class tomorrow so maybe i will learn something helpful. I just mainly am working on my water for now.

    Hi!
    My surgery is monday April 13 at 9:45am. I am also very excited and starting to get a little nervous. I have to start a liquid only diet for 10 days starting tomorrow. Today I am going shopping for all my protein drinks and sugar free jello.  All I have left to do is go to my pre-surgical appt. next week. Best of luck to everyone!!!!!

My surgery is in 12 days and counting. I am just now starting to get a little nervous but also very excited to get the weight loss ball rolling.
