Almost 9 months out

[Cindy Gengler 23]

My husband and I both had the RNY on September 6th 2016. We are now almost 9 months out and have lost a lot of weight. My husband started out at 496 lbs and is now down to 305 lbs. I started out at 304 lbs and am now down to 175 lbs. We have had a long journey together but are both making great progress so far. His first goal weight is to get down to 250 lbs and mine is to get down to 150 lbs. In hoping to hit my 150 lb mark by June 16th which is the date of our 9 month check up. It is now getting harder for me to lose weight because I'm getting closer to my goal weight. But I am determined to still try my best the next 4 weeks to get the last 25 lbs off.

After 5 months out from surgery I had surgery on my left achilles tendon and was not active of mobile for 2 full months so that really slowed me down for awhile. But now I'm back to work, excersing more and training for my very first 5K for September 30th of this year.

The photo shows our change in the past year and I am very proud of both of us!

Wowsers! Y'all have done amazingly! Do not beat yourself up if you don't make the 25lbs. That is asking a lot (possibly too much) of yourself. Just do your best, and be happy with whatever results you get

Congrats on your losses, you look great!

You two look amazing!!

I'm scheduled for the RNY next Tuesday @ 7:30am.

Today is my 6th day of the liquid diet. It's been amazingly easy. I'm ready to start this MY journey.

I won't push it. Between working 50 hours a week and just starting to be back on my feet just standing and walking at work right now is work out enough. Thank you!

Thank you! Good luck on your surgery! We did not have to do the liquid diet so I don't know how that feels. Good luck!

25 lbs in 4 weeks when you are this close to goal seems like an unreasonable expectation. The pace of weight loss can really slow down as you move closer to goal. Continue to do what you know what you need to do to lose and be proud of any continued losses. You will do great. I just don't want you setting some lofty arbitrary goal and then feeling frustrated if you don't hit it. You should be proud of any downward trend on the scale!

Thank you! I know its a lot of weight to lose. Ill be so happy if I did lost the last 25 lbs but I know its harder to lose weight as I get closer. I'm not going to push it to lose it all ill just be happy to lose what I can by my 9 month check up. But I am determined to be at my goal by my 1 year :-)
