3 MO. Post - OP Visit with my Surgeon 10/5/11

Yesterday I visited with my surgeon for my 3 month post op check-up , I have lost 49lbs (7 since my 2 mo. post -op blog) , my surgeon says I am over 40% of my weight loss goal now at three months!!!!!!!

 

Honestly, I have to say its hard to believe I have achieved that mark because , I still see "Me" and all my imperfections when I look into the mirror. When I look down , I see the same belly, hips, and thighs that I've always seen. My clothes tell the story because they are falling off of me. But my perception hasnt shifted to see a "new me." I walk more, work out and I feel great , but I just don't see a that much of a difference personally. My surgeon however was very reassuring and commented before I left "wow I can't wait to see you in three more months , I may not even recognize you !" My mind internally commented "Really, I mean come on now .....REALLY?"

 

I was thinking my progress is slow , yes I know it takes time and hard work , both of which I have vested , I just think I am having way too many stalls and such small little drops in weight from week to week. Anyone feel like that besides me ?

 

Thanks for sharing your imput , I will post my three mon. photos soon , thanks for your support everyone !!!!!

Even though I am only 17 days post-op I am right there with you. I can't see the weight loss that others see in me. I'm down a total of 30 lbs (pre-op weight included - 20 since surgery on 9/20). My clothes still fit the same way -- to me. I need to incorporate more exercise and am looking forward to doing so but I'm just waiting for the green light from my surgeon at my 1 month appointment. I would love to go to that appointment and be at least 10 pounds lighter...phew! Oh well... I definitely don't regret my decision to have the surgery and I plan on riding the wave.

Slow and steady wins the race!

Be encouraged!
