I had my RNY by laproscope on Feb. 1, 2012.  My highest weight was 261.  I lost some weight before surgery resulting in a final weigh in with my surgeon of 222.  I weighed 216 at the hospital prior to surgery.

37 lbs lost in 3 months!
on May 2, 2012 1:11 pm
Well, that's not bad at all and it's been fairly easy thus far.  I had a couple of weeks in a row where I lost only 1/2 lb each week but then I went back to doing something physical each day and a higher level of weight was lost. 

So I've now lost a total of 82 lbs and some people have really begun to notice and comment in a positive way.  Lots of people won't say anything at all and that's okay.  I'm not doing it for their approval.  I was so tired of being so bleepin' heavy and uncomfortable and awkward.  I really hope that I'll be cooler this Summer as being 260ish in any level of heat was horrible. 

My good habits at the beginning have fallen away and now I'm struggling to remember to take daily vitamins and drink enough water.  Sometimes I don't eat enough and often I don't drink enough.  I've got to get back on track and think the best way to do so will be to start charting my intake again (vits, food and water). 

I'll check in again next month or sooner with an update.

4.4 lbs lost this week!
on April 3, 2012 1:00 pm

This is the most I've lost, except in the first week or two, since surgery.  Now whether it's due to not exercising (weight training and cardio) and/or not eating enough I can't say.  It's put me solidly into the 180's though so I'm not complaining!

A couple post-op photos now uploaded

I had planned to have regular post-op photos posted but it's tough to get others to take them, without baggering them, so I've just uploaded my first two at 7 1/2 weeks out.  I'm down 25 lbs since pre-surgery weigh in and feeling pretty darned good.  :)

Onederland!

My scale read 198.0 today!  I haven't seen the 100's since somewhere in my twenties and I'm 49 now so this is amazing!  Words fail me.

Weight and measurements update
on February 12, 2012 5:39 pm

I did my measurements today for the first time since July 15th. I've lost 24 1/2" overall. My highest weight (from January of 2011) was 261.4 and today I weighed 202.4. 

My final weigh-in at my surgeon's office was 222 on the 19th and following the bowel prep on the 31st they weighed me pre-surgery on the 1st as 215.8.  So I've lost 13.6 lbs. so far.


Everything is going smoothly. I'm healing very nicely. Only one of the six incisions had any bruising. I'm increasing my walking a bit each day and today a friend and I went for a 40 minute walk.

Wahoo!
