10 month Check in

Well it has been 10 months since I had RNY.  So far I am down 137 pounds and am feeling really good and so much healthier!  I recently hit a stall and have not been losing much the last few weeks which can be discouraging at times but I am trying to stay positive and not let it get me down.  I have been straying from the foods that I should be eating because I am such a picky eater and get sick of tuna and chicken.  I also have been craving salty foods and that has caused me to retain more water then usual.  But overall I am very happy and proud of myself!  I have had several WOW moments like a male co-worker telling me this morning that I am looking very nice, and it was not a creepy, weird comment, he truly meant it in a good way!  I have about 38 pounds to go to get to my original goal but that goal may change when I get there!  Who knows what is possible now!?!  How is everyone else doing?

I am so glad to see a post on the December boards! It has been awhile but it feels good to be posting. I won't hit my 10 month mar****il the 30th, but so far I have lost 138lbs and I feel FABULOUS! Definitely felt a little slowing in the weight loss since I've been dealing with major stress, but I've been back on the wagon for a week and feeling better about seeing the scale move. I also get sick of eating the same things, get sick of chicken getting stuck so sometimes I go back to eating soft proteins like beans, eggs, and cheese to make sure I am getting it in. On a positive note, I am getting compliments all the time.... people at work approaching me asking me how I did it, and I've actually inspired 2 co-workers to pursue WLS themselves so that feels good! To have people in my life tell me that they don't recognize me, or that I'm skinny, its weird but a good weird!

I'm excited to hear from the rest of the December folks! Is anyone planning to wear a hot Halloween costume this year???

Cheryl,

How did you get your century club card?  I can't find anything.

Thanks,

Christine

Christine,
I think I just cut and pasted a blank one I saw on someone's profile, added text, and voila!

Friday will be my 10 month anniversary....I am down 130 lbs and 10 lbs from goal....so I feel really good.  I can't beleive how wonderful this journey has been.  It's had it's ups and downs with comments that some folks have made...but I know in my heart that I have made the best decision for myself and my family and I am at peace with it.  I also thank God everyday for this opportunity he placed before me.  I am very thankful for my RNY!

My surgery date is the 22nd and I am very happy and grateful that I had my RNY.  I have lost 145 lbs and I feel wonderful.  People I may not have seen in awhile will come into my office and ask where the womean who used to work here went.   I tell them thet I have been in this office for 4 yrs and actually have to show some of them pictures of me before they realize that I am the same person. 
I am losing weight very slowly now.  I have about 25 lbs until goal.  Yippee!

Congrats to u on your loss.You are doing amazing. Congrats to all my Dec peeps you all look great!!

Hi everyone,

My 10 months was October 4.  I am down 104 pounds and am feeling good.  I have about 20 pounds to go but I am struggling a little.  I have to get back on track.  It's like I lose 5 pounds then I play a little with my food and stay the same for the next month.  I haven't gained anything but I seem to have found the knack of maintaining.  It is a good thing we have done.  I hope all is weal.
