Won't it be nice to walk in a beautiful skirt and NOT have your thighs rub together!?!

I want to wear the style I like not the fat women clothes I have to pick from. I hate my clothes and will start weeding my closet in about 2 weeks.
I want a pair of cowboy boots to wear with a denim skirt, right above the knee. The type with layered ruffles. I also look forward to wearing stilettos again..haven't worn them in about 20yrs....
I also want to sit at the table and cross my legs...

Even though I exercise , swim an hour and walk 7000 steps... Losing a lot of inches. Saw doc on wed, he said i was ok because I am losing major inches. Weight will plateau. Then someone here said I wasn't eating enough calories for the exercise I do.
I thought about droppping to 600 for a day or two then go back up to 800. Then someone said go up to 1000, then back down.
I really,appreciate all the response but I am going to keep doing what my doc says.
He said keep doing what i am. Dont worry about the scale, build the muscles, lose the inches, it will bring up my metabolism and the weight will come off and when it does I will be toned and strong.
Thanks so much , you are all my support and I really love ya'll. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great news all around! Saw my cardiologist and hd,said blood work was great and even decreased my metoporal down from 50mg to 25 and says by December I should be off it totally! Yeah!!!!
Saw my surgeon he said my blood work numbers were perfect! ! They gad me weighed at 247. He said it's ok, I am building muscle and he wants me to do that. Number on the scale he does not concern much about as long as clothes are getting looser. Inches count!!! He said in the end it will all come together. Do not stress just keep doing what I am doing and ignore the scale til I get weighed there.
I see him again in Nov.
He said it's going to be like this, lose,then plateau, then lose. Let the body do its thing.
I felt do much better. I,see my kidney doc in October but cardiologist had some kidney blood work and he told me it's doing great!
I feel like a weight was lifted. I,was so sure I was doing something wrong.
He said build the muscles to increase the metabolism.
Thank you all for your input and listening! You are my support and I really,andppreciate it!!

Awesome!!!! Congratulations

Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Fantastic! Congratulations!
And thanks for being an inspiration!

I count the weight on the day I had my first visit with my surgeon. I had previously been larger but for this journey, that's where I start. I also take credit for the weight lost pre op because I did it and it counts for this year and journey.
I started in Jan 2017. Surgery was July 2017. It's all my fat, and it's all going down!!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Thank you Berry! I will try that. It,actually got chilly here and my pool is too cold for the next few days.

I agree with you! You deserve to count every pound!

I'm counting from my highest weight--coincidentally, the weight I was the first time I saw the surgeon--to now. I lost it all--I'm taking credit for it!

Almost 120 pounds lost. Need to get back in the gym and start toning.

You look wonderful!!! I love the before and after pics! They inspire me and they show me that if I stay committed and follow the program, one day I will have those pics too. I won't have surgery til August and I can't wait!![emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]

At 12 weeks I've lost 38 pounds since the preop diet. That's an average of just over 3 lbs per week. I had a few weeks with no scale movement and then at 8 weeks it picked up again with a nearly 4 lb weight loss one week. This week no loss again, but that's because of my food choices one day.
Definitely is a slow journey , but I try to keep it in perspective.

My stats might sound disappointing, because most people want to lose quickly.

My only double digit month was the first one. After that, I lost about 6 pounds a month. So, less than 2 pounds a week.

But that didn't stop me from shedding 126 pounds, or from keeping it off. So, no matter the rate, stick with it. There will be stops, starts and stalls. Long term maintenance is the real goal.

Good luck!

My doctor told me that after six weeks I should look at weight loss on a monthly basis rather than weekly. The weekly numbers will flucuate so much that the monthly rate is a better measure. The doctor said to expect an average of 10 lbs per month. They strongly stressed that is an average number - my actual rate may be more or less. That being said I'm almost 12 weeks and my total loss is consistent with that level.

Even though I exercise , swim an hour and walk 7000 steps... Losing a lot of inches. Saw doc on wed, he said i was ok because I am losing major inches. Weight will plateau. Then someone here said I wasn't eating enough calories for the exercise I do.
