161 pounds gone in a short 8 months!

I was 8 months post op on January 14th. I stepped on a scale (the same one that I have been using the entire journey) and learned that I have only 25 pounds until I am at a normal body weight for a person my height and bone structure. 25 pounds! That means that I have lost 161 pounds so far. That is so amazing! I see my surgeon this week to check in with the vitamin issue but I cant wait to see the look on his face when he reads the numbers. For me the surgery was supposed to help me lose about 130 pounds-161 is just amazing. I can eat just about anything except pizza makes me so sick. Favorite food right now is rice crakers, a little cream cheese and kippered salmon. So good! How is everyone else doing! -Gerriann Lap RNY 5/14/04 161 pounds gone forever!

Wow! I am jealous!! I just can't seem to get anywhere lately. I have only lost 9 pounds in the last month and a half. I guess it's better than nothing.. I really am happy for ya though!! Keep up the good work!! shele

Thank you!

Gerriann... You are doing awesome girl! Great job! I am down 152lbs so far and feel great! The progress is slowing down a bit, but part of that is due to slacking off exercise and evil holiday food...I am slowly getting back on track. Keep up the great work! Shanna

I have also slowed down a great deal this past month. I only lost 8 pounds but I am happy with 8 that is never coming back. I dropped so fast that now I am finally enjoying the smaller size clothing as I can wear it longer. I love the regular size jeans. Thank you for your kind words.

Sweetie yoiu are looking great!!! congrats on your loss. How much are you eating now? I will be 8 months out on the 24th and I feel I can eat more than I should, lol. Ive lost 105 lbs so far and it has slowed down considerably- Melissa
