Paul11011 372 Posted October 11, 2011 I can not believe it has been 9 months already. I am still incredibly thankful for the progressive I've seen. I can only equate my nine months with the much more famous 9 month period we all know, the progress towards birth. I feel that my journey has very much been a rebirth. I am no longer the person I used to be. Not only am I physically smaller, so many other things are different about me. I have a better attitude about life, feel more confident and resolute in who I am and what my capabilities are. I no longer look first for reasons I can't do something, rather now I'm wondering what can I do. My loss of the emotional crutch I had in food has caused me to be more emotional and deal with those emotions. It has been a wonderful and eventful journey. Here's a wrap up of where I am today: Total weight lost since initial consultation (Nov 23, 2010) -256lbs Weight loss since surgery (Jan 10, 2011) -220lbs Current weight, lowest since 6th grade 236lbs Current weight as a percentage of my beginning weight 48% No longer taking blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds and no longer wear a CPAP. I have shed all the co-mobilities I had at the beginning of this journey. Thank you all for reading and for providing me a very valuable outlet and support on my journey. 2 LilMissDiva Irene and Raine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LVbigmom 19 Posted October 11, 2011 Congratulations to you. One question I have is: Did you ever get stuck in a stall? and what did you do to pull out of it and start losing again? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul11011 372 Posted October 27, 2011 Congratulations to you. One question I have is: Did you ever get stuck in a stall? and what did you do to pull out of it and start losing again? Thanks Sorry I'm just replying to your question. Ok, don't hate me now. The closest thing I have had to a stall is one 1 week period of no loss. Yeah I'm an oddity.
