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 also hv the same amount to lose we can do this

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.

Well I have not been on here in a while! I am 1 yr out and has lost 110 pounds. I have about 20 to 40 pounds to go. It's going sooooo slow right now.

Hi My name is Sheila and I have 157 left to lose. I started out pre op at 298 and gained 12 pounds in the hospital and now I am back down to 292.

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?

I should say I have lost around 131 lb s. I am hovering between 157-160. I want to lose another 10. HOW???

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?

I wanna lose 114 more pounds!

I've already lost 76 pounds, and I want to lose another 130.
