I had lap rny on August 7th, 2002, and I have lost 130 lbs. BUT...I weighed
365 to begin with almost 100 pounds more then you, so I think that makes a
difference. I don't think you are a slow loser at all!

Mine was Sept, 2002 and I guess im a fast loser? I weighed 267# and am now
152# I always wondered what pace im supose to be at, everyone says im
losing too fast. I have been losing slower this past month a pound here and
there, but not steady anymore. I'm not complaining :o) I just really want
to reach my goal weight now which is 134# I'm happy! You should be too!!!!
Everyone is different with different WLS's, I had open rny. Good luck hun
and you are doing great :o)

I had a proximal RNY on 8/6/02, starting weight was 283 and I now weigh
158-160. You are doing great! I know that with your husband overseas,
things are going to be more stressful, but find other snacks. I love sweet
crunchy things so I have a Dannon light yogurt with 1 Tbls. of grapenuts in
it. Believe it or not, it feels like a treat! Also if you are in a
grazing mood, get some sunflower seeds (in the shell) and crack away. We
can not change the behavior overnight, but we can find alternatives to keep
in control. I will keep you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers.
Remember, the more stress you are under the more self-doubt you have. Stay
strong, and when it's all over, you will KNOW that you can now do
anything!! God Bless!!

LAP RNY August 28, 2002. I started at 255 and this morning I was 157.5.
Everyone loses at their own pace. I have 20-25 lbs to go. Now I have to
wait to see how my skin will skrink back. I have a feeling the flags waving
on my arms will need attention. Best of luck to you. You are doing great!
Every pound is one less you ever have to see again. God Bless.

I had my surgery on 8/9/02. I started out at 340 and now weight 210. The
weight is coming off really slow now but it is still coming off. I want to
get down to 150. I wish you all the best!
