Life has sure changed in one year!  Having RNY surgery has changed my life for the better.  Down 100 lbs since last October 6th.  How has everyone else been doing?

It is crazy.  I had RNY 10/13/08.  I only got my date about 5 days prior so not much time to feel anxious.  I am down 133lbs, give or take 5, as I fluctuate.  I don't want to lose anymore.  I still don't eat right.  I hate eating meat.  Still can't fully digest it.  I do some seafood.  But mostly veggies.  I would kill anyone who tries to take away my cheez its.  I could honestly live on crackers and be happy.  I am in a size 4/6, which I have never been in my adult life.  Things are good.  Can't believe it has been almost a year.

Holy Cow ladies and gentleman it's almost 1 year ago we all had surgery.  Do you remember how anxious and excited we were last September, counting down the days until our surgeries!  Wow we have all come a long way.  Let's hear about it, share your stories.

I had Lapband surgery, in October 2008.  I am down a 56 pounds (come on 60)!  Feeling like a Barbie doll and loving it.  It still amazes me I had the surgery and my life is so wonderful.

Topic: RE: Oct 2008 Surgery buddies..how are you doing??!!
I had surgery October 6, 2008. I am down 95 lbs. I love my RNY! So many things have changed in my life and I am happy for that. My mantra is ~ 
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"
I will be glad when the time comes that people I see atleast once a week stop calling me skinny and going on about my weight loss. I am ready to move beyond that topic. I am very proud of it but there is more to me than my weight loss story.

Congrats to everyone!

Jane

Hi everyone.  It's good to see how you all are doing.  As of today I am down to 165.  I started my journey at 278 and my surgery date weight was 246.  I want to lose at least another 20 pound and 30 pounds would be great!  I had a major stall this last 5 or 6 weeks and didn't lose a thing - I actually gained 2 pounds.  I made some changes and I am back on track.  i am bicycling for exercise and that has been a huge help for me.  it is also good for my knees to build up my quad muscles.  I am going to have to have both of my knees replaced although I know my ortho surgeon wants to wait as long as possible.  I am feeling great and even more confident that I can reach my goal.  I love hearing all of your stories so thanks for posting.  Have a great 4th of July!!

I have lost 90 pounds so far, the weight-loss is slowing way down now. My Dr. wants me to lose 10 more pounds. I want to lose 15-20 more. I never thought I would lose this much in 8 months so I am happy.
congrats to everyone!

Sounds like everyone is doing great!  I've lost 125 I've got about 40 to go to make my surgeons goal.  I've been loosing about 1 -2 lbs per week, I'm pretty happy with this.  I feel fantastic and am loving the energy I have.  ;) Lou

I am at an 80 lb loss and have 70 to go. I plan on losing the rest within the next year. I'm excersising like crazy and that has helped shape my body. Glad to see others seem to be where I am..:):)
