9 months, 134 pounds - Pics included :)

I was 9 months post op as of June 14th. I have lost 134 pounds since the day of surgery. Pics are from day of surgery and this morning.

I still want to lose another 82 pounds or so..but am so ahppy with my results so far. Weight loss has slowed down a lot, but its still coming off.. I am very dedicated to following and tracking my food... I stay within 800-1000 cals a day, at least 60-80 grams of Protein and try to stay under 40 carbs. If i do my work outs which consist of boxing/kickboxing classes at a boxing gym then I up the calories and protein..

I take lots of walks with my husband and dog, the more I lose the more active I become.

I hope this helps people who start out with a large amount to lose like myself and are unsure if this can work for them. It can work for you if you use it as a tool to help you. It comes with hard work and will power, but it can be done... :)

I can't say it enough, but I LOVE my sleeve and the new outlook I have on life :)

I agree! :)

Just wonderful! I am amazed at your statistics. I haven't seen anyone else lose the first 50 so fast and to lose 134 since Sept 14! You must not even recognize your own body. Do you forget that you don't take up as much space anymore?

Congratulations and you look beautiful.

You look great!!!! Go girl!!!!!

Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Sometimes we all need that reminder that we have each other for support and hearing your words gives me even more support and motivation to keep going.

It is so strange, I flew for the first time since surgery a few weeks ago and i had room on both side of me and the seat belt I had to tighten and had extra left over. It is still hard to beleive at times that I am much smaller than I use to be. I find myself still afraid to squeeze between people thinking I won't fit, but in reality I will with room to spare. When I weight myself I keel seeing the number as 300 something when really I am in the low 200 somethings.. This is something that I could never have imagined and it still is hard to believe that this is really the new me.

For those asking about my stats, all my before info is on my profile so check it out there :)

Thank you again everyone, you made my day :)
