It's got to be nice.....I can't even remember being below 200 but then I've got double that still.  I'm just trying to be patient.  I should try increasing my protein too.  Thanks for the tip!

I seem to be losing again but slower than I thought I would I have...I've lost a total of 46 lbs (I weigh 214 now ) and Im at 12 weeks....it is kind of nice to know that just 15 more lbs and I will be at 199! I have added 80 grams of protein to my diet and I only exercise 3 days a week and for some reason that has helped......its weird when I exercised 5 days a week I stopped losing.

Karen,
Our stats are almost exactly the same.  I'm 5'5, was 259 the day of surgery and today weigh 227.  I'm not exercising much but get in most of my protein usually.  I haven't lost anything in 3 weeks either.  Surely it won't last much longer.  Surely I'm not through losing?

Topic: RE: sabotage
Have you done a food diary to help you?   My mentor who is out one year, does a meal plan every day, and sticks with it.  She's lost 125 pounds.   Amazing!    I myself don't do a food diary, but I am researching high protein low fat/sugar recipes and trying them, along with protein shakes.

Congratulations to you! 

My RnY was 8/21,and as of 10/31, I'm down about 45 pounds, and very happy about it.  I heard that you lose the most weight in the first 6 months, so I can't wait to see how much I have lost by christmas!

Topic: just over 2 months out and down 65 pounds!

I am just over two months out..and actually weighed at 2months out and was down 65 pounds!   I can't believe it.   I still see my fat self in the mirror but have to admit I am losing all over since my pants are falling off when I run... and YES!   I do mean run.   I have soooo much more energy and I am so thankful for the weightloss.    I feel great!   The only thing I regret is that I didn't do it 20 years ago.   Hope everyone is doing well and I would love to hear how you all are doing.
