My 8 month update

8 Month Update Who would have thunk it??? I have made it 8 months since my RNY and I am still doing GREAT!!! As of today I weigh 247.0....whooohoooo (yesterday it was 245.0...LOL) Here is what I have acomplished so far... Total inches lost 70 Total pounds lost 148.0 (WOW ) I have a total of 57 pounds left to reach my goal weight of 190 (I might try to get lower if possible) I have lost 61% of my excess weight and 72% of my weight to goal!!! What have I learned so far... I still cant eat much at one time... I still dont feel hungry... I do get the munchies though. I can finally eat spicy foods...YEAHHHH I still cant tollerate any butter or oils... I have more energy than I can handle... LOL I love being outside mowing the grass and working in the yard... Things coming up in the future... My PCP will do my bloodwork on 4/24... I am going on a Cruise (4/17) for my birthday... This is it for now... happy day Susan
