So, I am now 10 months post op RNY Gastric bypass. I have exactly one more pound until I am "normal" BMI! I am so excited! I saw my doctor recently when I was 125 lbs and he told me not to lose any more weight. After much discussion about how I really want to be a normal BMI and it was only 2 more pounds he agreed it was ok to do. I'm sure this last pound is going to be the hardest one to lose! According to my doctor I have lost 93% of my excess wt. I wonder if I can actually make it to the "ideal" wt they gave me, 117 lbs. My doctor said he doesn't expect me to go that low. Hmmmm....sounds like a challenge!

LOVE IT! You sound so much like me! If your ideal weight is 123 then 117 would be a good range to go to for maintenance. This way you can catch yourself and get back on track when you are getting close to 125! YOU GOT THIS & CONGRATS on a job well done love : )

Yay!! I won't congratulate you until you hit that 1lb goal. Then better watch out!! You are DOING this thing!!!!

LOL! And I totes know about the whole hitting "Ideal" or 100% EBW lost. I SOOOOO wanted that super duper top secret. But my surgeon about had a mild cow yesterday when she saw me for me 18month and told me not to lose any more...but then I said, "But my Goal 3 weight milestone is important and only 5lbs away..."

Ahhhh...insanity. :D

@FluffyChix once I hit the 123 lb goal it seems doable to lose 6 more before I see my doctor in 6 months! We'll see. I haven't been that low in probably 40 yrs but it would still give me a BMI of 23...perfectly healthy. Oh, by the way, I was 123.9 on my scale this morning...after using the bathroom and naked! Now I gotta get there with clothes on!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
