Well, I was going to title my post - I've lost 40 pounds!! but this morning when I got on the scale I flew by 243, which is my 40 pound loss number. I weighed in at 241.5. I was stalled at 247-246 for about 3 weeks and then BAM! my body decides to drop 4.5 pounds this week!

My revision from lapband to lapband over plication was Feb. 7, 2011, so exactly 14 weeks ago! That's an average of 2.9 pounds per week, although my weight loss has not been consistently 3 pounds per week. Some weeks I lose more, some weeks I lose nothing so it just depends.

I am ecstatic with my progress and hope to continue losing at this rate. I'm sure as I get closer to my goal, my weight loss will slow down but overall, I am thrilled with my surgery and my life after surgery (especially compared to life with the lapband). In case anyone is wondering my current lapband is completely empty and I plan to leave it that way.

Hope everyone has a great day, I know I will!!!! :)

      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?
