I go for my 3 month follow op next week. First time seeing my surgeon since the week after surgery.( I live in another state) I was hoping to be down at least 50lbs but I should be between 45-50lbs I am really starting to see a difference and I feel great. Someone at work I hadn't seen in a couple months didn't even recognize at first. Totally made my day.

I feel behind in weight loss as well. But I kinda assumed I would be a slow loser because I ate really healthy and worked out a lot before surgery. I actually lost 100lbs 3 years ago gained back 25 and wasn't able to loose anymore. No matter what I did. I tried trainers and didn't eat fried food or red meat. So I had the surgery. I have lost 35lbs since surgery June 19. I go for my 3 month post op sept 17 and I'm working my but off to get to the 50lb goal. Here's a picture of me around my highest weight and then a couple weeks ago. Over all I am really pleased with the progress. We all wish we could snap our fingers and wake up with the perfect body! Lol but hey that why we are here!

I just got a fit bit for my Birthday and I love it! I researched them for awhile and they had great reviews. It comes with a blue tooth USB toggle you leave plugged in to your computer and you can sync it when you get a chance. You can also download the app on your phone and Bluetooth sync it there as well. You can log Fluid and food intake on the app/online as well as set weight goals. I actually like it better than the my fitness pal.

It's true! I have found myself thinking every couple weeks when the weight loss slows down that I'm failing, or everyone is losing like crazy! But sometimes I take a deep breath and a step back and I realize I am losing too. We are all worth it and will succeed. The first month I "only" lost 16 lbs, others seemed to be losing a lb a day so I felt so behind. I will be three months out sept 19 th and there are others that has surgery around the same time I did like within a day or two that have lost 50 lbs already. Today I have 37 , I would love to be at 50 for my 3 month post op but it doesn't look like its going to happen. I know exactly how you feel but I have come to realize and accept I can compare myself to them all I want but it's not going to make me loose any faster and it will only make me miserable! Hang in there! We made the right choice and it will pay off!

Making some roasted jalapeños stuffed with fat free cream cheese, chive and onion, topped with a little crunchy bacon. The bacon is lean but it's my little cheat I was out of turkey bacon so hopefully it will be fine! Won't even be eating half a slice anyway! I love spicy food and it sits well with me I'm also cooking some tilapia blackened ahead of time for the week.

My goal was 40lbs by my birthday. I made it to 34 lbs by my birthday so I'm happy with that. I would like to hit 200 or below by the time I go for my 3 month post op.
