    I just went through my closet tonight for the first time. I am 3 months out and down 65 pounds. I have no clothes!!! I am shopping at the local thrift shop this week. Can't imagine spending a lot of money on clothes I will be getting rid of in another month or two. Pants are now an 18 from 24. Shirt is size XL from 3x.

    Today, has to be a great moment for me in my journey so far. My seven year old daughter comes and wraps her arms around me, and as she noticed that she can hug me and her arms fit around me,she looked up and said momma, I can finally hug you and squeeze my arms around you. You are getting skinny and I am so proud of you. I just teared up and said thank you baby, I just felt so good to hear my kid say such a nice thing. What a moment in my journey!! 62 pounds down so far, and feeling good.

    One of my goals was to go on a hike with my boys. I did it this past weekend! We did a 3 mile hike through a hilly conservation area on Cape Cod. My 17 yr old son said he was proud of me. He was surprised I took them because last year I wouldn't have even thought of doing something like that! Next goal: running in a 5k!

    I tell people who ask or comment on my weight loss. I am very proud of myself. It took a lot of courage to take this step. I am healthier now than I ever was before surgery. And sometimes letting people know about my surgery makes it easier to get what I need for myself.

    I use Any whey Protein Powder. I can't taste it. I mix it with V8 fusion lite. It's yummy.

    I went to San Francisco 2 weeks after surgery. It was the same kind of conference. Breakfast meeting-lunch-meeting-dinner for 3 days. I did great. They had a buffet for lunch which included Soup, fish, Pasta etc. I chose the fish and soup. I put the soup cup right on my plate to take up space. At dinner I ordered an appetizer crab cake made with no extra butter or sauce and a side of mashed potato. Only ate a bit of each but it was yummy.
    As far as questions are concerned, there won't be as many as you think. If someone asked I told them. Straight out. I am proud of my decision to get healthy and to use RNY as a tool to get there. People were positive and supportive.

    mbowlin got a reaction from kristy3k in Plateued :(   
    The same thing happened to me. I was plateaued for a while and then joined a gym. The weight is coming off again. I do weigh myself everyday. I find that if I don't get all my Water and Protein in everyday, then my body won't release fat. So exercise, drink water and get all your protein in and you will be fine. My surgery was on 6/6/12 and I am down 50 pounds so far. 100 more to go!!!
