100+ To Loose

[DebbieG 262]

Hello everyone!! Figured I would hop onto this thread. I had my rny on 5/14/13. I'm down a total of 105 lbs weighing in at 168! I'm actually a size 12 (loose) from a size 22 . I can't believe it. Life is so great. My hubby picked me up last Sunday twice and I wrapped my legs completely around him. Good luck everyone on your journey. I have faith in you all.

I started my journey at 273lbs my surgery date was July 23,2013, I'm now 205lbs. I went from a size 16-18 to a 10. This has been a awesome experience. I have another 40lbs I want to lose. Good luck to everyone on your journeys!

I want to wish the best of everything to each and every one of you! I won't say luck because there is no luck involved. It is hard work and you are each wonderful. I had gastric bypass surgery on July 31, 2007 and weighed 270 pounds. I was 57 years old, had chronic anemia (so the surgeon almost didn't do the surgery) and a 95% calcified gall bladder. So, it had to go at the same time. In 10 months, I lost 130 pounds, I never had the first complication and have had great labs ever since.

I have however gained some weight since quitting smoking in December of 2012 (35 pounds). That is why I am here, to lose that weight gain and get back to goal. I have no doubt that I can do that with the support of the good folks here. Happy New Year everyone!

Hello all!

Almost a month out and down 40 lbs. my starting weight was 300 and my goal weight is 150. My current weight is 260! I have been having a pretty rough time adjusting but It does me good to see how well everyone is doing! I am honestly so hopeful things will get better! 110 pounds seems so far away. But I am hopeful that I can do it! Seeing you all... And how well you're doing... Well it helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I am down 108 lbs and 30 lbs from my final goal of 150. I am thrilled! I had surgery 2/28/13--11 months ago and it has been great.

We can do this!

[wonderwoman75 118]

Just remember take one pound at a time. It will come off eventually. I have lost 135 lbs and I have taken it one day at a time. Good luck.

I want to lose 120 pounds, and get my body fat percentage to 18%.

I also have to lose over 100# I'm 272 and have a surgery date for RNY Feb 4. I would love to weigh 140 and at 5'5" that is a high normal. I know it will be a long year but I am so ready. It took 7 months to complete all the requirements and get a date. It's great seeing others with my BMI.

Has any one watched "Fat Doctor" on Youtube. It's a UK reality show about a surgeon and the patients having WLS. You actually see the surgery. It is well worth watching.

I am down 70lbs. 40 more to go.

Hi! Thought I would also jump in. I had my RNY on June 25, 2013. I weighed about 291 pounds on my surgery day, I had lost nearly 40 pounds prior to surgery. I just hit my 9 month anniversary and am down just over 175 pounds total. I am reaching the goal I had made for myself before surgery. Now I am thinking I may go for another 20 - 25 pounds. Make my total loss about 200 pounds. This would put my BMI in the normal range.

I will tell you that this doesn't happen by itself. I work out every day. I have a Fit Bit that lets me know how effective my workouts have been each day. I have had some small cheats, but really stick to my plan every day. I am here to say that THIS CAN BE DONE!!

Good luck to all of you on this journey. I would not be here without the wisdom of the folks on this site. I will also say that how I feel today makes all the hard work to get here SO worth it!

Baconville,

So glad to read your story. You started out at a weight about like mine. Congratulations on your success!

I had RNY 10/15/13 and have lost 102 lbs since 10/1/13 when I began my 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery. I need to lose about 80 more pounds to reach my goal of 160 lbs. I am 5'8" so that is a healthy goal.

Losing weight was easy until about 2/1/14. I am having carb cravings and I'm trying to see just how many carbs I can eat per day and not gain--AND continue to lose. Well, I haven't gained, but my weight loss has slowed. I am exercising and doing strength building.

Do you have carb cravings or are you one of the lucky ones who escaped this? What did you eat 6 months out from surgery? What kind and amount of food? How calories per day and how many grams Protein, carbs, fat?
