9 months out. Just uploaded new pics to my profile

Hit another goal this AM and I am not even trying!  I will be 9 months our tomorrow. Started at 242 and 5'4" tall.  My original goal was 150, then I changed it to 145, then 140. Weighed in at 138.5 this morning.  Wanted to scream from the rafters that I love my RNY.  I dont exercise. Yeah, I know not good.  I really am not even trying to lose more weight.  Started in a size 22 and am down to a size 4. Even took a picture of the scale with the digital camera. I am thinking of posting it on my bathroom mirror for motivation to never go over 140 again. Thought I was at maintenance since I was a 142 for weeks!!  Maybe 135 is possible but not sure I want to go that far.  I am drinking 2-3 protein drinks a day plus 3 meals. Averaging about 100 grams a day of protein. I honestly think that was the trick for me. Started out as a really slow loser. Learned about insulin resistance at my 4 month stall. Upped the protein to 100 grams a day and bam!  The weight literally started falling off!  Feeling absolutely great.  Everyone is telling me how great I look (not used to that as I still see myself as the big girl!) I may not want to lose anymore but Dr. Suh told me he thought that I would get down to 135 and I thought he was crazy.  Guess he knows better than I do.  I go for my 9 month labs this morning.  I get my labs drawn every two months and they are all great!   I am having no issues and zero vomiting in 9 months!!! Whooo Hoooo!!!  Would love to read others reports. Give us a shout out here!

  Congratulations, I am really happy and proud of you for all your accomplishments.  What an inspiration you are for us just starting our journey. 

Hugs,

Fantasic!! You and I are the same height and our starting weight is just 6 pounds different. So seeing what you have managed to do gives me great hope! I have been slow but steady until the last couple weeks and my weight has been dropping really fast and I too believe it is because I upped my protein too. I am 5 months out and down a total of 74 pounds as of today.

Congratulations.

HUGS
