Down 201 lbs - before and after pic

I see that your highest weight was 475 which is mine. Were you required to loose over 100 pounds before surgery. I'm afraid that I'm too big and they won't do surgery. But I desperately need it ive been battling weight now from 9 years old to present 26.

Thanks, Grim!  You were SUCH an inspiration to me when I started researching RNY.  I saw your ticker and was blown away.  Thanks for all the support throughout this process.  I want to be just like you when I grow up :)

Congratulations!  Very nice.... Great job..

Thanks, Hala!  I follow the boards closely...and I know that as I head towards maintenance it will be tougher and tougher. I really do appreciate your insight on OH :)

Amazing and Beautiful! You are such an inspiration. Unbelievable that anyone could lose 200 pounds in less than a year. I know you worked so hard for that. Congratulations.

Thanks, NYMom!  I am sometimes dumbfounded by it myself!

I look forward to your post on the menu board, along with Anny and the gang, every day. I so admire your success and love how open and honest and willing to share your journey with us.  You must be a terrific person, because this is got to be your REWARD. You keep us all inspired! Congrats X 200 !!!

Awww thank you!  I love the post.  It forces me to make thoughtful decisions about what I am eating and to log it all in and be accountable...and sometimes make changes if I see carbs creep a little high or protein a little low.  It's such a motivator for me!

Thanks to EVERYONE for your kind words and kudos!  It means a lot to me!  Seriously it is noticed and appreciated :)  Hope you all have a great day :)

You look fabulous.  Your before and after pics will be an inspiration to others!  Congratulations on your success .
