I thought I would post an update...

I am still fighting the good fight to get to goal... and this week my efforts have been rewarded by the scales. I have lost 4lbs this week at nearly 16mths out. The last time I lost 4lbs in one week was in Oct last year, when I was just 17wks out!!!

I know, this isn't gonna last... but I have to say, it has put a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

I really do think I am going to make my surgeon's goal at least! And I am sooooo close of getting out of the obese BMI range I can taste it!

I suppose what I am trying to say is that if you are losing at a snails pace... stick with it. Take each and every pound with pleasure.

Remember fellow slow losers... slow but sure wins the race! closedeyes.gif

Thanks Newgirl... over the last 7mths I seem to lose 2-3lb a mth, so this was quite thrilling for me to wake up to this morning...lol... I realise that this weight will probably stay with me now for a couple of weeks, then, hopefully, I will drop another 2-3 lb. As long as it keeps coming off, I don't mind!

Oh and I forgot to mention that I am now UNDER 12 stone... the first time since 1996!!!

Congrats! I can just imagine your face as you gazed at the scale. I haven't seen a 4 lb. loss in a single week since probably the first month after surgery! Way to rock that sleeve more than one year out!

Hey Lynda...

Yep... my face was certainly a pciture!! I got on and off 4 times... even thought about changing the batteries...lol!

I rushed and told my hubby, who was well impressed too... he had been saying all week that I look smaller, but me being me just thought he was being polite! This just gives me the thirst to get to my surgeon's goal now. I really hope that I will hit it for christmas! What a pressie that would be...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
