How much have you lost since surgery????
Update! I've lost 74# & have 30 to go. I am now officially "overweight" rather than obese or morbidly obese. Yea! I've lost 72.54 of my excess weight (based on my goal). We're all doing great!

Well I am updating everyone on my loss. I have lost 122 lbs. since October 23rd, 2009. I am a few days past 6 months and am down to 248 from 370. I am weiring a comfortable size 16 to 18 and 1or 2 pieces are 20's that are off brands or cut smaller. I was weiring a very tight and uncomfortable 26/28 before surgery, and had a bunch of room to go up, but refused to buy a bigger size than that. All my labs were good except Vitamin D so I take a pill once a week for that and my iron was borderline, but since my menstraul is real bad (I bleed super heavy for up to 8 days where I will go through a superplus tampoon and an overnight pad in an hour or two) my doctor is thinking about putting me on the depo shot so that my menstraul will stop hopeing that will cut down on my lower irons.
My new life started on October 23, 2009 !!!!!!
My surgery was 10/26/09, I'm down 86 lbs. I had my 6mo visit today, all my labs are great except my vit A is low. I'll pick some up this weekend. I feel great, have gone from a 26 pant to a 16/18. I do have to say I'm envious of those of you who have already reach the century mark. If I keep my carbs down, I'll be there soon! Eye on the prize baby, eye on the prize!
Wow suzq2, we started close to the same high weight and have only a slight difference between our goal weights.
I had my RNY on October 22, 2009 and have lost 84 pounds. My high weight was 292 pounds and my goal weight is 140.
I'm still pretty uncomfortable in my own skin, but I am being pleasantly surprised every few weeks. I am losing slowly but steadily, and I'm finally beginning to notice differences in my appearance. I think it will take a year or more to finally start seeing myself thinner.
Great job to all the October 2009 people!! Good luck with everything. :)
