I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Today i hit 154 pounds which puts me in the normal weight range for my hight (5'6")... i went over my doctor's weight goal for me

which was 160 pounds for my body frame (i have thick bones).

Only 9 pounds till i hit goal, but what if i go below 145 pounds? i am afraid am going to keep losing and look sick. I am almost 6 months out and by one year out i might be 130 pounds or less who knows :)

9 pounds sound so easy... hopefully i will get there by 7 months out!

Good luck everyone, and keep up the good work... This has both negatives and positives but as i was told yesterday, i should be very happy and grateful and not complain.

Thank god for everything he has given to me and helped me go through!

Your doing terrific! I'm 10 months out and about 10 lbs from goal. My body is content here. After a 3 month stall, it has finally started to move again. I have read where a few people have continued to lose after meeting their goal, and had to up their calories. I don't believe that I will be one of those people, cause my body likes the cushion...Good luck and God Bless!

I am so happy to see these posts. I will be 10 months out in a few days too and still have ??10-15 more pounds to lose. I have also been in a stall for 3 months and am kinda shocked by how much I can eat sometimes!!

I know it is not "too much" as I am not gaining weight but it seems to be just enough to maintain!

I feel very happy to be where I am at but a few more pounds would be nice! It is no longer falling off and I can see that I will really have to work on it to see these last pounds go!

I think I will step up the exercise and see how it goes!!!

Thanks for making me know that I am not alone!

Good luck hun, you can do it! 10 pounds are nothing compared where you were before! sometimes a stall is good a body needs time to adjust and tighten, i have been through a lot of these <3

No hun you are not alone! we are all on the same boat! You can do it and reach goal, just work hard towards it... I have been lucky to lose weight without exercising (cause m overseas and gyms here are not as good) all i do is walk, but i will be back home by next week and ill sign up for a gym forsure!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
