I AM DOWN TO 177LBS NOW, AND HAVE 27 LBS TO GO! I AM FEELING GREAT AND LOVING MY NEW LIFE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE I HAD SURGERY. I AM HOPING TO BE DOWN TO 150LBS BY APRIL 7TH, WHICH IS MY BIRTHDAY. I FIGURE IF I LOOSE 5-7LBS A MONTH I WILL DO IT.

I FINNALLY GOT UNDER 200LBS, I WAS HANGING AROUND 202LBS FOR A WHILE. I AM NOW AT 197.4LBS. I HAVE 47.4 LBS TO GO BEFORE GOAL WEIGHT. I AM HOPING THAT I WILL BE DOWN TO MY GOAL WEIGHT BY MARCH OF NEXT YEAR OR SOONER. I HEAR THAT ONCE YOU GET UNDER 200LBS, THE WEIGHT COMES OF SLOWER. WE WILL SEE.

6 month anniversary
on July 17, 2007 10:25 pm

I THOUGHT I WOULD UPDATE AND LET YOU KNOW THAT YESTERDAY WAS MY 6 MONTH ANNIVERSARY. I HAVE LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT SINCE THE SURGERY ALMOST 110 LBS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY GOAL WEIGHT AT 150LBS SO I HAVE 53LBS TO GO. IF THINGS GO RIGHT, MAYbe SOMETIME IN JANUARY 2008 I WILL BE AT GOAL WEIGHT. I MAY WANT TO GO DOWN 140LBS, JUST DEPENDS HOW I FEEL AT THE TIME.

JUNE 16TH WILL BE MY 5 MONTH ANNIVERSARY!I AM AT 217 LBS. I HAVE LOST 95 LBS SINCE SURGERY, BUT 140LBS SINCE 22 MONTHS AGO. I FELL GREAT!I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I LOOK LIKE A TOTAL DIFFERENT PERSON.
I SAW A COUSIN OF MINE AND SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I HAVE LOST. 
I SAW AN OLD BOYFRIEND OF MINE ALSO, AND HE COULD NOT TAKE HIS EYES OFF OF ME. BOY I DID TELL HIM, HEY YOU COULD HANDLE IT WHEN I HEAVIER, AND I TOLD HIM TO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE HE CAN NOT HAVE ME AGAIN. I WILL NOT GO DOWN THE SAME ROUTE WITH HIM.

I AM DOWN FROM A SIZE 32 TO MY CURRENT SIZE 18/20. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HITTING 199 ON MY SCALE, THAT IS WHEN I AM REALLY GOING TO CELEBRATE!I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THE 100'S SINCE HIGHSCHOOL.(20 YEARS AGO)
I FEEL REALLY GOOD AND I AM STARTING TO FEEL SEXY AGAIN! I PLAN TO UPDATE MY PHOTOS WHEN I CAN GET A CHANCE.

8 weeks post op

it has been eight weeks since my surgery and i am down 52 lbs. I went through the platau stage which was for about two weeks. the scale is finally starting to move down. i am so glad i am going through this journey. i can not remember when i weighted 260lbs(which i weight right now). it has to be at least 10 years or longer. 
i can not wait til i hit the 100lb mark, hopefully by the end of the summer.

My Story

MY NAME IS DAWN AND I AM 38 YEARS OLD, I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT MY WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE TRIED ALL THE DIETS AND THE ONE THAT HELPED WAS WEIGHT WATCHERS, I LOST 50LBS. BUT I GAINED 27 POUNDS BACK WITHIN 3 MONTHS.
BUT AS OF JANUARY 16TH, 2007 THAT HAS CHANGED, I HAD THE RYN GASTRIC BY PASS. I AM FEELING GREAT AND HAVE LOST 25LBS SINCE SURGERY. 2 YEARS AGO I WAS AT MY HIGHEST AND THAT  WAS 357LBS.

TWO YEARS AGO I STEPPED ON THE SCALE AT MY DOCTORS OFFICE AND IT WAS 357LBS, I WAS SO EMBARRASSED. MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON PROZAC TO HELP WITH MY APPETITE, AND THAT HELPED A LITTLE. THEN IN SEPTEMBER2005 I JOINED WEIGHT WATCHERS AND LOST 50LBS IN 3 MONTHS. I WAS SO HAPPY, BUT THEN I STARTED GAINING WEIGHT. SO IN SEPTEMBER 2006 I TALKED TO MY DOCTOR, AND REFERRED ME TO WLS AT GROUP HEALTH. I WAS APPROVED IMMEDIATELY!I WAS TOLD THEN, IT WOULD BE AT LEAST A YEAR WAIT!I WAS SO BUMMED. BUT RIGHT BEFORE THANKGIVING, I GOT A CALL THAT THEY HAD A OPENING IN JANUARY!I TOOK IT!THAT WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS THAT I WAITED.JANUARY 16TH, I HAD THE SURGERY!I AM STARTING TO FEEL BETTER AND LOOK GREAT!NOW I AM ON A NEW JOURNEY IN MY LIFE, AND SO FAR IT LOOKS GREAT!
