Hi Linda I had my surgery March 4th here in Australia. I have lost about 44lbs and consider myself a slow loser, I started out at 300lbs. I had an open RNY but I have also had a VBG 2 years ago. My stomach is not as restricted as most so I still have to watch portion sizes. In Australia the surgeons do not seem to be as strict about high protein as they seem to be in the US. Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work Jane

Hi Linda, I am a march 3er. I am down 92 pounds thus far. Went from a size 22 to a size 13. I feel awesome. Starting weight 265 pounds, current weight 173 pounds.

I had my surgery on 3/12/03 and I've lost 83 pounds. I started out at 280 and I'm at 198. I exercise 6 days a week, and I don't eat any starches. I've loved my journey so far. Keep up the great work everyone,

Hi Linda, I guess starting weight does not matter. I had my RNY on March 27th and I've so far have only lost 45lbs and I started out at 341.5lbs. I'm a very very slow loser. I find that I can eat more than I should be able to and I don't dump on sugars. I've increased my exercise and now workout 5-6 days a week. I'm drinking lots and lots of water and have cut my coffee intake down to 2 cups per week. Coffee is now like a treat for me.

Hi Linda...Had my surgery March 6th.... as of 07/07 I am down 83 pounds! Eat more food....your body may think it is starving....I eat more and loose faster...weird. Tammy in Schaumburg IL

Hi everyone, I had surgery on March 3rd, and I've only lost 40lbs. I had the lap band so I expected to lose slowly, but I hadn't lost anything the last 3-4 weeks and was wondering what was up. Well, I found out. I am pregnant with my fourth child! (Hubby likes new body...!) So, I am thrilled to be having another child, and a little sad that I have to slow down on weight loss for the next 9 months! But I will be back at it after the baby is born! (Tubes will be tied, no more babies popping up for me!) Down from 252 to 212. Dropped from size 24 to 14/16! It is great! Love, Jo
