10 months out

I had my RNY 10 months ago on April 9th. Today on my 10th month surgiversary, I find myself under my goal weight, down a whopping 116 pounds. I weigh 119 now. I have been trying to slow down the weight loss for a while and following my nuts advice. It seems like my body has other ideas. Just wondering how many of you got below your goal weight and when did you body decide to quit and what did you do, if anything to maintain your weight. I am 5' 5 1/2" and little girl clothes are falling off me. I am eating at least 4 meals a day. What is funny is that I have not exercised for the last 10 days and thought that would have made a difference...but I lost 3 more pounds during that time. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My surgery date was the exact same as yours! Isn't that neat! I hope I can fit in little bitty clothes one day. My accomplishment is that I can wear an 18 now. Cause I started out in a 32. You have inspired me! Way to go!

I haven't had my surgery yet but were gonna be around the same weight (starting wise) when I have surgery (230lbs), This post makes me beyond excited! (: 

Julie... You need to eat more. More often, less defense foods. Drink with meals. Add butter and other fats. Avocado is good. Chips and dips. Crackers with cheese....

My surgeon said to go 20 or even 30 pounds under goal to have a cushion for the regain that happens after 18 months. It was fun to wear size zero for a while.

My body stopped when it was ready and I had a regain at 30 months. I was glad I did not try to stop losing - did not try to maintain - did not try to regain. Enjoy being skinny for a while. People will be jealous and your body will settle at the right place if you follow your diet and exercise plan.
