So, I'm almost 6 weeks post op, I went to the dr's office today for another follow-up and I have lost 27 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, the doctor was happy, the nurse was happy, and I was over the moon!!!!!!!!!! Down from a size 20W to a 16 and I'm feeling great! What a fantastic day today is, going to mark this on my calendar as a red letter day, YEA!!!

That is fantastic! Keep up the good work!!

Hip, Hip, Hurray! So happy for you. Love these Red Letter Days.

Awesome results! Will you be getting a fill soon?

Wow! That's great!!!

The Dr. said he wasn't going to fill me until I hit a plateau. He said that every once in a while he has a patient who is in the green zone with just the little bit he filled during surgery. He told me that if I stopped losing my 2-3 pounds a week, I could call and he would get me in to do a fill. I'm telling you that I feel the real reason I'm losing weight because I have my head in it. I have never had my head in the game before and I'm happier than I have ever been. Weight has been the only thing in my life that has been out of control and it feels so good to be in control of it, finally.

I'm telling you that I feel the real reason I'm losing weight because I have my head in it. I have never had my head in the game before and I'm happier than I have ever been.

This is such a big part of the successful journey. Congrats!! Keep up the good work.

You are doing super! My doctor bases fills on what I am eating, and how hungry I am. To be honest, I think it's wrong for doctors to say they will only fill when your not loosing weight. As you said, you have your head in the game. It is certainly possible to be loosing weight because your sticking to a program, but have lots of hunger. Just a thought. Best wishes!

Well, the good thing is that I'm not having too much hunger. Because I have my head in the game now, I know that the hunger is not a bad thing, I'm not going to die, it's just a signal.
