I've lost over 40 pounds in 14 weeks!!

Jenn · May 16, 2011

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!!!!
