Almost 40 lbs makes a huge difference. I know it has to be hard seeing some people lose double that, but sometimes slow is better. Your body is doing it at your pace and your skin has a chance to tighten up as you lose. Still 36 lbs in 2 months is a huge accomplishment. When else have you been able to lose that in a short amount of time.

I have not been able to say that for a very long time... I'm 8lbs away from being halfway to goal.. So I suppose if it took me another month to lose those 8lbs I'd be on the way to goal in a total of 6 months... We can all find positives in little things! :) change of atittude..... YAY 36lbs!!!!

Heck ya that is good! I have two months on you and I have only lost around 41 pounds and I have only lost 3 pounds the last 5 weeks. Those were my fault though, I have been a lazy butt. You are doing great, I know that almost 40 pounds makes a huge difference. I grabbed a pair of dress slacks from my closet today because I was going to go apply for a part time job at a local school and I had not had my dress pants on since last February when I resigned from my county job. HOLY COW those things slipped off my waist and were down around mid thigh, if I didnt have such booty it would have fallen straight down to my ankles. My husband was like DAMN those kinda don't fit huh? YA THINK?

-36 lbs is AWESOME!!!! You are doing great!

And I agree with you on the zero food issues....yay! I've been laughing (inside...not openly) at all the nutrition classes and support groups that I have been to, when everything is geared towards the Band or Bypass and they go over the "chew chew chew" rule, and "sugar = dumping" and I'm like okay, tell me again why I should not get the sleeve? Duh, it's a no brainer when you look at the sleeve compared to other WLS.

Glad you are doing so well!!!:thumb:

You're doing great! Some people who are very obese lose a lot at the very beginning - some who start slightly lower on the BMI scale don't lose that fast. But hey, 38 pounds in two months IS HUGE!

You have a lot less to lose then most of the ppl losing more than you. I am almost 2 months out and I've lost just under 40lbs but 5 was preop so 35lbs. You ARE one of the fast losers.

almost 40 lbs? And you're a lightweight? I think you should be really proud! I have about the same amt to lose and i'm afraid it'll take me at least 6 mos to lose 40lbs! I know it's tough when you want to be at goal already, but you're almost half way there... You would have been so happy to know this 2 mos ago!! :)

Keep up the good work!

I think 38 pounds is amazing. I never could have lost that much weight this quickly on my own. Look you are almost 1/2 way to your goal in only 2 months. Celebrate it!!! I know I will when I get there. I have a lot further to go than you.

Keep up the good work!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
