9 Months! Where are you?

I have two more weeks to go before I hit my 9 month surgiversary. So far, so good! Highest: 280 Surgery Day: 270 Current: 169 Goal: 150 Total Loss: 111 19 lbs to go! Realistically, I may want to get down to 140 or 135... so I may need to adjust my goal... I'll wait and see how I feel at 150

I still have a couple weeks till I hit the 9 month mark but.... Surgery date: 337 Current: 206 Goal: 180 131 lost and 26 more to go to goal. Mine has slowed down as well but I have a TON of excess skin and that is the part I think I hate the most right now. I can deal with the slowing down as long as I am losing, but I HATE the skin and can't wait until I'm far enough out for plastics. I could probably wear jeans a size or two smaller at least if I did not have the panis skin.

Kerry I hear you about the skin It really SUCKS Big time, I can't see my elbow because the skin is hang over it. and with my leggs soon my Knees will be gone, I could lose another 20 lbs if I got the skin off. Have a good day. and we will make it throughs this together.

OMG! The skin is really bad. My knees have wrinkles.

9 Months out...I'm at goal and maintaining (within 5 pounds!) Surgery date: 249 Goal: 149 Current: 146 total loss: 103 pounds. I did slow way down as I got closer to my goal. I know it's frustrating, but keep at it. Your tool is still working, it just isn't going to be as dramatic as in the beginning. I think everyone's doing great! Deb

Hi everyone! I don't get to the forums often, but glad I did today. Here are my stats: Highest: 299.7 Day of Surgery: 272 Today: 151.8 Goal: 145 Total Loss: 149.7 7 pounds to go I've been gaining and losing the same 3-4 pounds for about four weeks now. I did that last month, too. Sounds like everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work.

Wow, I can't believe it's already 9 months (Saturday 10-26 for me)!! Pre Surgery Diet: 311 Surgery date: 289 Current : 162 Goal: Doc-165, me-155 Total lost: 136 pounds 149 been stuck at 162 for 6 weeks now. Tried more/less food, more/less exercise - same weight every day no matter what. Maybe this is where I'm destined to be. I could live with it and be perfectly happy, so my goal of 7 more pounds doesn't seem that important anymore. Just being this happy and healthy is awesome enough!!

I won't hit 9 months until the 30th, but since I'll be on vacation (and not getting on line), I'll post now. Day of Surgery: 318 Current: 197 Goal: 162-157 Total lost: 121 35-40 lbs to go I too have felt defeated in the last 2 months. The weight loss really slowed, and just felt that I should be doing better. But in reality, it looks like we're all at about the same pace. ~jenny

Oh my gosh, I'm reading all of your stats and I feel like such a loser (not in a good way!!) I'm only down 55lbs!! I thought I was doing good! haha. Highest: 245 Surgery date: 239 Current: 190 Goal: 160 total loss: 155 30lbs to go! I'm stalling now too and it's good to know some other people are too. I'm discovering more foods I can eat that I wasn't able to before and I totally agree I wish I hadn't even even tried them!!!

Hi Jessica, Fortunately, but unfortunately, I was happy to see your post. We both had surgery in Oct 07 and I started out about 20lbs more than you. I am only 55lbs down and now it is starting to depress me. I spoke to my NUT earlier today and she is faxing over a meal plan. I work-out 4x a week, my eating and alcohol intake could be a little better, by far it is not horrible, but I don't know what the freakin prob is. Have they given you any good reason for the slow progress. Thanks Rosalind
