I still have over 100+ lbs to loose and was looking for some others in the same boat.

I am right there with ya Texas... I have about 140 to 150 to lose.

I'm in that boat!

Yep, me too.

Me too, I haven't had surgery yet but I have close to 200 pounds to lose.

I'm on that boat too. 111# still to loose. Currently I have been stalled for the last 3 weeks. :thumbup1:

I too have 100 pounds to lose as well; however I really would like lose 120 if possible. We all took this big step together - we have to stay on course and be positive. We are all in this together.

Hey texashopeful! I am in mesquite and 29, and I had surgery on June 15, 2010! i started my preop at 287, at 265 on surgery date, and at almost 7 weeks out about 243. It seems like its coming off slow compared to some others, however Just this week I was able to put on a 1x top and a size 20 jeans! It was quite exciting, i called and told everyone I know. at this point I would like to lose another 100 pounds, because I have curves, and honestly cant see myself at 120. Maybe when I am closer I will change my mind huh? good luck to all

I was one of those folks too. . . and guess what I DID it, took me 7 months. . . I still have about 50 more to go though. . . now it's really slow, doctor told me the best thing to do now is change up my routine. . . do different exercises, eat different foods, etc. . . shake up the body a bit. . . going to start that Monday, lets see what happens!

hi!

I too have about 175 to lose... it all starts soon!!!! can't wait!

I live in the Dallas area as well. I have 150+ lbs to lose I haven't been scheduled for surgery yet.

I've got around 160 to lose! And although the doc says not to expect 100% weight loss, that's what I wanna do! I'm 9 days post op and actually I don't have 160 anymore, I've got 138!

Congrats Qured

I'm there with you. I haven't set an official goal yet, but think I need to lose about 165 pounds. Yikes! That sounds like alot!!! :frown1:

I, too, need to lose 100+ lbs. According to the medical charts for recommended weight, I need to lose betweeen 122 to 152 lbs. I'm presently, pre-op so that sounds really hard. But if, I'm approved for this procedure, I plan to be successfully! All your encouraging stories has helped me to think more postively on achieving goals. I really can't wait to feel good again - I don't like the way my body reacts and feels these days.

I still have over 100+ lbs to loose and was looking for some others in the same boat.

I have 120 pounds to lose so I'm right there with you too...
