Hi Liz. I also have about 200 to lose. It sometimes seems impossible, but dedication and endurance will get us through it. There are SO many wonderful supportive people on here that will help.

I have 168 lbs. to lose. Surgery is July 16. My brother had the rny this past November and he is now down 150 lbs. So I know it can happen and it can happen in 6 months and not years. I just have to do what I'm told. I also plan to get a personal trainer at my gym for some lessons. I'm a league bowler and the season starts in August and my Doctor said I would be ready to bowl 2nd week in August. I'm in 4 leagues and really didnt want to run around trying to find substitutes. Now I can get back to the swing of things and not miss any time.

I am down around 131 lbs. Sometimes it's 129. I really would like to lose another 10. Those of you below 160- are you having the same struggles as I?

Jumping in. Congrats to all of you. I am scheduled for band removal to RNY on 2/25/13 (quite the wait) so am checking to see how everyone is doing and trying to find some tricks for success.

I am 60 and have 108# to lose. They actually want me to lose 118# but I am 5'5" and weighed 130 in high school and was not considered overweight. I am "well-endowed" and I think that 120# would be too thin for me. I would be perfectly happy wearing a size 10/12. All of my excess weight is in the middle which is extremely unhealthy.

Hi Thynnlynn, my revison from band to bypass is in 3 weeks. I'm 56, 5'6", similar story. How has it been going for you? I hear those that have a revision loose the weight more slowly. What has been your experience?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
