Day 35 - Lost 60 pounds already!!

Just got back from my 1 month post-op follow-up with my doctor, and I got the best news since I started my lap-band journey - I lost a total of 60 lbs already (15 pre-op, 45 post-op). I can't believe how I lost this much weight in a month's time. From my starting weight of 471, I am now 411.

 

I can't wait to use a regular 400-lb capacity weighing scale to weigh myself!! (I've been going to the clinic just to use their uber-sized weighing scale.)

 

Since I am losing so much weight, my doctor delayed my second adjustment. He said he will do my second fill once my weight loss slows down or stops all together.

 

Again, he told me that the rate I am losing weight is quite normal for a guy with my starting weight (471 lbs).

 

I'm sooooooo happy. =)
