Year Anniversary
Aug 17, 2012
I am down 139 lbs. I started at 317 and was 178 on my anniversary date. I continue to eat properly and work out nearly every day at work (lunch time of course).
No issues and my BMI is in the normal zone.
Adios!

Approaching my year anniversary and I am down to 182 pounds from 317 just before surgery. My optimistic goal was 190. My nutritionist wants to see me around 175. Never thought it would be possible, but I am still losing close to a pound a week.
I think I can get to 175 if I stay the course. I work out an hour a day 4-5 days a week and make sure I get enough protein. And I continue to eat properly and sparringly. Never let myself get to hungry though. Been going Chobani yogurt which is healthy and somewhat of a treat.
Anyways off to a twelve day cruise!
Adios!

Hi Everyone:
I am down 130 pounds which puts me 3 pounds under my goal of 190. I am now wearing size 32 pants, down from 48 at my highest.
Never really thought I would see size 32 again. I actually think I can hit 180 or maybe a little less. Anyways everything is going well and can't believe my year anniverseray is in a couple of months...
Adios!

Almost 9 Months
Apr 17, 2012
Well, 12 days short of 9 months and I am down 121 pounds. That puts me at 196 lbs. I am supposed to try for 180, but 190 seems more reasonable since working out. Losing less than a pound a week, but still losing...
All in all my RNY has been very successful, only threw up twice ( I had a smoked turkey leg at EPCOTT) and once I had a flaky roll before dinner. Other than that nothing. My scars are minimal, almost can't see them and extra skin isn't too bad.
I get plenty of protein and always take my vitamins so have had no hair loss or tiredness. Wasn't much hair to start with anyways, although since my head is less fat someone said I have the appearance of more hair :)
Diabetes, Apnea and High Blood Pressure are gone and off all meds.
Peace

Down 105 pounds. This last month has been my slowest loss, but I was on vacation and didn't lose any weight during that time (11 days). Also I have been working out in a gym 5 days a week since late October and probably at my most fit and muscular.
Nutritionist wants me to lose another 35 lbs to get to 175. Don't think thats possible with working out, I think 185 - 190 would be more realistic, but we'll see.
Adios!
