I want to be around 140. My preop weight was 288. My current weight is 240. I am 5'2" and had my surgery on 6/6/12. I'd be happy with anywhere near 150 actually as long as I am healthy and can be active. That's what I'm missing...being active.

I joined a 24 hour gym in my area (cape cod) and love it. Every day I see different types of people in there. They are all working on themselves and so am I. I am 5'2" and 240 down from 288. I surprise myself every time I try a new machine. Started on the treadmill. Now I can do the elliptical for 15 minutes! And I had a session with a personal trainer for weight training. I find my stress level is down and my weight is falling off. My key to success is put yourself first and don't think about what others may think.

At first I didn't know when I was hungry. Now I hear my stomach making noise and my head feels a little swimmy. When I couldn't tell, I just ate 3 times a day at regular times. That way I was sure to get my nutrients in.
