2 Month Mark

Hello All,

 

Well, I finally got the internet back so I could keep in touch with you all and get some support and see how everyone is doing.

 

It's been 2 months and I have not had a tighten yet. Is that usually? My doctor said that since I am losing weight he doesn't want to tighten the band just yet. It's a bit scary for one that loves to eat.

 

I have lost 20 pounds in my first month, but I go back to the doctor this Thursday and I can't wait to see what the scales tells me. I only get weighed when I go see the doctor. Everyone keeps asking me how much have you lost now. I am trying not to get scale crazy. Just trying to do the correct thing. Eat small amounts and exercise. And let my clothes talk to me.

 

Talk to ya soon :smile:

I agree about the scale. I don't have one in my house and I only get my weight at the doctor. I don't want to go crazy and weigh myself every day. Besides, if you only get an update once a month then it seems like more loss. Hehe.
