You are stronger than the cookie! I am sitting at 87 lbs lost right now. I hope to have 100 by the end of Jan that would put me 6 months out. My hubby and I are renewing our vows in July next year and I hope to be at goal before then. I have about 45 more lbs to go to be at my personal goal. The chart says 125 but I would be very, very happy to be sitting at 145. That is below what I was even before my husband and I met and I was 17 at that time! 

 

I have not had too much trouble with holiday stuff for now, but we are hosting a big party on the 16th and I shall see where I end up. Luckily, too much sugar makes me not feel good. I have not dumped, I just don't feel right, so I stay away from it for the most part. I feel pretty good about things right now. I hope you make it through the holidays with out too much temptation~

Well..here we sit in month 5. Mine will be the 24th but I am down 86 lbs so far. With about  50 more to go give or take. I feel great. I am able to do more stuff for longer and sleep better. I am now showing some bones and everyone I see tells me how great I am looking. Its an odd feeling that is actually hard to get used to for me.

 

I have not had any 'problems" though I do get stuff stuck now and then when I eat to fast.

Sugar is tricky for me, though I don't stay away from it as a rule, I do stay away from anything in concentrate such as desserts and drinks with the exception of an occasional andies mint. It gives me a quick fix with out feeling too guilty later.

 

 

76 pounds!!  That is so awesome!  I had my RNY on the 23rd of July.  I am currently 57 pounds down and FINALLY broke the 200 pound mark.  199!!

Most days are good for me.  I do not get hungry at all, so it's a chore to find something to eat.  I can't eat chicken or carrots.  Other than that, I can eat anything.  I am currently on a salad kick and it I feel great.  I still drink protein drinks.

How are you feeling? 

I was sleeved on July 17th. Ironically, it was the same day my health benefits plan voted on whether or not to start covering bariatric surgery. Previously it had been excluded from any coverage whatsoever. I am using my husbands health benefits plan to cover it -- and now mine (who I work for)  has decided they will cover it beginning January 1, 2013....oh well, my husband's plan pays better anyway!!

Hope you are all doing well!!!
