Eight Months Down

Nov 09, 2009

11/09/09:  Today I am 8 months out and I can honestly say I don't want to lose any more weight.  I never thought those words would come out of my mouth (or from my fingers), but I am satisfied with where I am.  I have lost a total of 145 pounds.  That's more than I currently weigh!  Since RNY, I have lost 87 pounds. 

Now the hard part comes.  I need to try to maintain my current weight.  This will be tough.  I am still losing.  I lost 15 pounds this past month alone, most likely due to my bowel obstruction.  I am finding it difficult to increase the amount of food I eat.  In fact, I find I am able to eat less than I could last month.  This makes maintaining difficult.  I know the weight loss will slack off.  Imagine, 8 months ago I was complaining that I was not losing quick enough.  Now I want to stabilize.  Go Figure!
