I went in for a follow up this morning with my Bariatric center. I weighed in and I have now lost over 50 lbs since my surgery on May 13th. I have had no fills (still no fill today), PA asked how I was doing it and explained my diet and exercise schedule. She was very proud of me and seemed to be happy with the way I am losing weight and suggested that I get fills when I am ready or when the weight loss is slowing, but she says to continue down the path that I am taking. She liked my behavior over restriction ideas and is in full support. So far so good.

When I originally had the lap band I wanted to lose my first 50 lbs by my birthday (11/16), so I was able to beat it a couple of weeks early. Now the next goal is another 15 lbs by NYE. Wish me luck!

Next scheduled appointment is in another 3 months. Feeling great!

That's awesome. I hope to be able to do this also. I lost 31 pounds before surgery on my own and was down 50 pounds the day of surgery. So far, I have only lost 5 pounds since surgery 3 weeks ago, but I'm not too concerned because I'm still healing. But, I have stuck with my eating routine and my calorie intake is usually around 1200 calories a day and they are healthy calories, not junk. I drink tons of water and exercise 4 times a week. I really don't want to be so tight I can't enjoy any good food ever. I just want something to remind me that food is fuel and to only eat enough to satisfy. My first goal is to be down another 25 pounds by NYE. I'm at 273 now. That would put me at 248 which is my first mini-goal!! My final goal is 150. Seems like so far away.....

Congratulations Thee O. You are doing awsome!

Way to go...you're doing awesome...keep up the great work!!

Fabulous!!

Congrats! It feels great with the surgeon/PA tells you that stuff. I had the biggest smile like I had really accomplished something when they asked me how I was doing it! Keep up all the hard work!
