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

I've got a long wary to go before Onederland but your stories are inspirational! I had surgery march 21st. Not quite a month ago...but really looking forward to joining you all!

Wow! That's great.

My surgery date is April 23rd. I currently weigh 297 lbs. Congratulations on your success.

I started at about the same point (294) on March 12. Now at 259 and dropping to 180 before I am done... Good luck to you!

So what is your exercise regime like? I was march 21st...only two weeks behind you and I'm only at 21 lbs....I've hit a plateau...although it does seem like I'm losing inches

My wife says "men loose weight faster and it isnot fair". Up til now, mainly walking, but just started back at the gym 3-4 times per week.

Panda have no fear I've been at a couple plateaus and it's annoying but it's worth it because I find that once the plateau is done for I start loosing faster! I normally loose about 5-6 lbs a week but during a plateau I only loose 1-2 lbs a week, but I'm happy with any weight loss because before surgery I could barely loose 5 lbs. in a month!

Thank you I really needed to hear that....: )....today I woke up and was 1 lb less than yesterday. Tomorrow is 1 month....so 22-23 lbs in one month is excellent!

22-23 lbs a month is AWESOME!!! That's basically how I did!!! I'm down 65 lbs. and I'm 3 months out I'm not exactly sure how much I lost each month but at your rate you should be down 60 or more lbs in 3 months!
