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!!!
