Topic: RE: How Much Have You Lost
Surgery 11/3/04
Started 291
Now 200
total lost - 91 lbs
My goal is 145 or less, doctor's goal 150
Trying to exercise more and eat less and take in more protein. I didn't hit goal at 6mos (100 lbs) so I have to make up for lost time. Still loving it though.
Topic: RE: How Much Have You Lost
Surgery date: 11/04/03
Starting weight: 200
Current weight: 128
total loss: 72 lbs
Goal weight: Dr.'s goal: 130 lbs
My Personal goal:120
I am at goal with my Dr., but I would love to reach 120 pounds!
I started in a size 16/18 & I am now a size 6 in jeans sometimes a 4 in a dress!
I am just amazed at the change my body has gone through. I am a slow loser & I have not lost anything in a couple of months, so I think I am pretty much done losing...but you never know!
Good luck to everyone on reaching thei goals!

I have reached goal!
When I went to my 6-month appointment, which was actually my 7th month Dr. Ikramuddin told me that I am at goal & I do not need to lose any more weight.
I started at 200 lbs & I am now 128 total loss of 72 lbs.
This surgery has changed my life! I am so much more active & loving life every day. When I come home from work I don't want to hang out on the couch & read a book anymore. I want to go for a walk, or ride my stationary bike or go fishing.....anything but just sitting around!
I am hoping to still make one more personal goal, I would like to weight 120lbs, but that may not happen. I haven't lost any weight in a couple of months.
I hope you all make your goals that you have set for yourselves!
God Bless!

not quite there yet myself. I started at 306; now at 180; doc says I should be about 170. The last 10 lbs. ARGH... I too was stuck for almost a month; then I lost 4 lbs. So, hopefully I'll get the last 10 gone; 
and then off to see about a tummy tuck.
never give up, we all will make it.
congrats to all on the progress you have made thus far.

Happy 30th!! 
Mine is coming up on the 23rd. Have a great Cruise!
I have been better about pictures lateley, especially because my face is a LOT thinner than it used to be and I can really tell.
In fact I was signing papers with a notary for our refinance and when she looked at my Drivers License she said - This doesn't look like you, you must have lost a LOT of weight. That was the best thing to hear.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
One of the big factors in getting this surgery for me was being able to get pregnant. So I am SOOO happy it has worked for you. I will be stopping my Depo after my Oct dosage. So we got a little ways until we are trying.
