New member that has lost 185 pounds.
y name is Connie and I had surgery in 1997 and I
have lost 185 pounds. I walk, run, workout in the
fitness center and do all the things that I never could.
I had vertical banded gastroplasty. It is a form of
stomach stapling, with no involvement of the intestines.
I am still not able to eat but about 4-6 ounces at
a time and I have trouble with meat or chicken or
fish. I usually get 30 grams of fat a day, 50 protein,
and I drink milk at least once a day. I really do
think this is the best thing that I have ever done for
myself. I started out at 310 and now I am 125. I wear
size 4-6 now and then I wore 30-32 in womens. A BIG
difference.

ow Connie, what a tremendous amount of weight to
lose, you’ve given me hope with my goal in weight loss.
I am having my open RNY done tomorrow at 2:45pm and
I am hoping and praying to be successful at my goal
of 200 pounds. My surgeon says to be realistic and
go for 170 but we’ll see what happens….way to go
Connie, you are a great roll model..<br>take care…Wendy

endy,<br>I do not know about this RNY, but good
luck. If I did it anybody can. I weighed 310 and now I
weigh about 123-125. I try not to weigh everyday as I
am trying to build muscle and they weigh more than
fat, but I will be smaller. What is your weight now? I
will pray for you and write again soon.<br>Connie
