Wow! How did you lose the weight so fast?

I lost 19 on pre op in two weeks ..I believe it was all beer belly lol. I look at my surgery as a gift from my fiance since he emptied out his savings for me to have since he knew how unhappy I was. He worked hard for that money so I want to work hard to thank him. I go to the gym every morning at 4:30am...then walk at work on breaks and lunch and sometimes after dinner. I get in my protein..take my Vitamins etc like I am supposed to. Working out and doing weights really made a huge difference in my body. I also do the couch to 5k app...love it. Once I started that the weight started dropping off....I never thought I would actually enjoy running but I do lol. I am so thankful that the surgery didn't give me low energy like I thought it would..but I also quit smoking and daily happy hour etc in January so that probably helps! I have family and friends who did the surgery and didn't work out so it was slower...I highly recommend making sure you do. It only takes a couple of weeks dragging yourself there for your body start wanting to go...good luck! You can do this!

My appointment went well. He said I was slightly under the expected weight loss for 4 months, but I am not quite 4 months yet. The exercise guy didn't even recognize me, he walked right by me not realizing who I was I need to get moving now that I was ok'd by the cardiologist. There is a gym moving very close to my house, can't wait for them to open!

Have you lost 52 since your surgery (apx 4 months) or was some pre-op? I think you are doing great--congrats!

My WL is about the same as yours at 4 months (and pre-op), but I have more to lose. My surgeon never says if my loss is average or not, just that I'm doing great. He actually has never even given me a WL goal, but I want to set one eventually. Right now I am just looking at it incrementally as related to specific BMIs, etc.

I feel like any weight loss is beneficial!
