I had high expectations for a rapid loss. I really had hoped for 50 quick pounds and then 10 pounds a month. Unfortunately, we can't always control how our bodies handle what we do to/with them. I can go 3-4 weeks without losing a pound then lose 5-6 pounds in a matter of days. This last "cycle" was about 2 weeks with no loss then an abrupt 4 pound loss. It can be incredibly frustrating. I've only averaged about 5 pounds a month since about 6 weeks postop. With all of that said, however, I am down nearly 70 pounds since my 2-week preop diet began back in early December. I am VERY happy to have lost that 67-68 pounds even if it did take longer than I'd planned. Bottom line? Patience, grasshopper.

I was plicated on December 22 by the "other" Cincinnati area surgical center - Dr. Trace Curry at Journey Lite. I also had a great experience and love his staff. Just wanted to throw that out there!
