Now I know what to say!

And i, for one, will be cheering you on, our starting weight was pretty close and if an old Chickadee like me at 73 can do it, you should be a "shoe-in" . Oh it will take some work on your part, but the surgery gives you a strong Tool to use, and you will have the Victory you could not get before. Oh I was a veteran of some real kooky diets, some I think were designed by a doctor and a dart board, but honey I am doing it and doing well. And I actually have something to brag about, one of the best things? When I go shopping I no long have to settle for the largest size they have, the really ugly ones. And I don't have to resort to wearing mens sweats because I can't find any in Ladies to fit me. All these bring me joy and they will you also! 👍😝🍀

Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

My surgery was 6/4/2018 so I'm at 9 months and ive lost 46 since surgery and 76 total. Its different for everyone. I feel the same way when I see how much more others have lost but my doctors have said I'm right on track or a little bit ahead of where they want me at this stage at each appt. It all depends on how much you have to lose as well. If you only have 100 lbs to lose its going to take you longer. Are you comparing yourself to someone who has 200 to lose? As hard as it is try not to compare yourself to other people's journeys. You will get where you need to get if you stay on your plan

Thank you so very much for your redponse❤️I really do appreciate it. I guess I do compare myself to everyone that has had the Gastric Sleeve. And yes I only have95 pounds to loose. Glad to know that there are others out there like me. Thanks again!

Yes I'm just like you. My original goal for myself was 160 (I'm thinking about changing it to 150). So from my highest I only had between 95 and 105 to lose. Now that I'm so close to my goal it had really slowed down. I'm really frustrated with that sometimes because I see shook many others with huge losses I just have to keep reminding myself that it will be a little slower for me because I had less to lose.

Congratulations on nearly reaching your goal!!!Thats definitely an achievement. I will be happy when I can say the same. I still have45 more pounds to go .Its going veryyyyyslowwww.

It matters less how little or how slow you lose as much as you steadily keep on losing. Every day there is less of you on the outside, more of the strong person inside can come through. Be a strong sure jalopy, race cars burn out their engines and end up on the scrap- heap of life.😝

Repeating to all
Never, ever, ever, ever compare yourself to others
we're all different in life in general - losing weight, how long it takes, how
much weight you lose.
don't beat yourself up about anything, things will happen in their own time
- and you'll do great
God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It😎
good luck to all
