Heaviest 297 / 
My 9 month surgiversary was 8/13. I started the journey at 242 lbs (and in a size 24 pant and 3x top. My biggest size was @ 265 lbs, 26-28 pants, squeezing in a 3x top, and barely hitting 5'4". I am now wavering between 170-172 lbs, size 12 and XL top. I have been sitting on a platau for awhile however I started dropping some lbs just recently (I was stuck at 175 lbs forever it seemed). My goal is 144 lbs and it is going to take some major focus however I am confident I will get there! I am so happy I made the decision to get my RNY and despite the difficulty I have gone thru (as everyone who has had this surgery) I would do it over in a heartbeat.
Good luck to all in their WL journey :0)
Hi-
I just hit 9 months this week. This is an example of a day of eating:
B: Protein shake-30g plus coffee
L: ham and cheese roll-up and few slices cucumber with seasoning salt
S: Protein shake-30g
D: 2 oz spicy shrimp and roasted asparagus
S: Protein shake-30g or 100 calorie popcorn depending on if I am high enough in protein for the day.
I drink a minimum of 80 oz water per day and take over 19 vitamins a day. I had to cancel gym membership due to finances, but need to step up my game in walking, bike riding, etc. I want to lose about 30 more lbs which will be the weight I was in 7th grade! I think my biggest struggles are with my head. I know I have lost weight but still see a very heavy woman when looking in the mirror (some body dysmorphia, or my mind just hasn't caught up with the body). I am sooooooooo thankful I had the chance to regain my health, energy, confidence and really rediscovering who I am. Best- Nancy
I check here every once in a while and was excited to see there was activity tonight! I am amazed at how fast 9 months has gone! I hit mine this week (11th). I am down 165lbs and am so thankful I had this surgery!
My weight loss slowed down at 5-6 months dramatically, then out of the blue this month I lost 16lbs. I was shocked as I haven't done anything diff. I get labs done tomorrow and can only hope my protein levels are up. The surgeon re-check in a couple weeks. So glad and proud of how well everyone is doing. I have about thirty more to go and am hopeful I will hit goal. Maybe if we can all post at least once a month I think it is really encouraging to get the support from people that had wls around the same time. All the best-Nancy
It will be 9 months on the 24th for me. I am down 123 pounds & down 22 BMI points.
The weight is not flying off any more but still coming off thank God! I feel sooooo much better & very active. I enjoy working out & eating healthy, that is something that I thought I would never say...lol...
I have my moments where I want a little something that I should not have but I just find a healthier way to eat it. I was a HUGE carb ***** before surgery & now it is unreal how much I actually dislike them as before I thought there was nothing else. I no longer eat rice or potato's, I do eat small amounts of bread though :( I fill up on beans, protein meats, fresh fruits & veggies. I find when my head hunger gets the best of me if I keep fruit on hand I can eat something health rather then crap. I do hope to beat this head hunger it is a real *****lol
Take Care & can't waite to hear how you all are doing!!!!
