I just wanted to make this a topic for people to come to and tell what the weighed before surgery, how long it took them to loose how much, and when they finally made it to Onederland!!! Here's my info so far: I had my surgery on January 11th, 2012 I weighed 247 on the beginning of my journey! as of March 18th, 2012 (just a little over 2 months out) I've lost 49 lbs and I've finally made it to Onederland on March 16th, 2012

mine has been how effortlessly the weight comes off and how I'm not craving foods like I used to!

My gastric was on 01/11/12 so we aren't that far apart date wise just a couple weeks! I too was feeling very weak on the full liquid diet and was extremely happy once I was able to start on the mushy stage! I had a question for you when you 1st started on the mushy foods did you have any kind of pain at all in your stomach like it felt like your stomach was heavy, I every now and then will get a pain in mine and I don't know if it's because it's telling me my stomach is full or if something is wrong so I was wondering if you've experienced the same thing!

Hi my name is Summer and I just had my rny surgery on 01-11-12. I'm 26 years old and have been married for almost 9 years, we have 3 children two of which are twins (boy/girl) they are almost 7 and our youngest is almost 5. I haven't always been overweight my whole life I started gaining weight once I took birth control and then with each one of my children added more pounds on. At my heaviest I was 250 and at my 1st initial visit with my surgeon I was at 247. I'm a week out and I'm now at 227. I look forward to meeting others who have had the surgery as well to share things with me as I'm on this journey to a new me!
