It's been close to 9 months out and I've lost 74 lbs and I'm just a few lbs away from ONEerland. It took forever to get here. My weight loss slowed to a crawl these last few months. Still thinking I won't succeed at this. My highest recorded weight was 291 prior to getting the lapband. Day of surgery for my revision to RNY I was 277. I think I can eat way too much and I also don't believe I dump. I haven't really tested it, because I just don't want to go there. I don't want to know. I have been able to eat fruit, high in sugar in itself and nothing happened. I haven't so much as gagged once after this surgery. I had much more problem with the band. I barfed all the time when I had the lapband and still there was no weight loss to speak of.
I just thought I'd come in here and post my progress. I believe it's going to get more difficult. I have 43 lbs to go to my personal goal. It would be great if I could lose another 25 after that, but if I know my body that is a stretch. I still feel my progress is very slow compared to most who post here. If I count from the 291 I've lost 88 lbs from my highest recorded weight. I guess that looks better, but I'll stick to the weight I was when I got the RNY. I'm starting to think about plastics. I'd like to have the excess skin taken off my belly. I hate my turkey neck and the bat wing thing.... Maybe that. Mostly the 'panni'. I would really like that gone.
Guess that is it for now. I hope you are all doing well. I don't get to spend a lot of time here, but enjoy reading all the posts. You are all an inspiration to me.
