I had a really awesome appointment with my surgeon this morning! I had been feeling a bit down in the dumps because I felt like I hadn't really been losing weight at the proper speed for the last few months as I've been fighting an uphill battle with my thyroid levels having been totally tanked (having trouble getting meds readjusted after such a large weight loss). I would stay steady for a week or two, maybe even go up a pound, and then the next I would drop five.

But my surgeon seemed really stoked about how much I've lost, stating I've lost about 10 pounds more than he would have expected in that amount of time. He didn't even want to give me the fill I thought I might be needing, kind of "don't poke the dragon" sort of thing since things have been working. Which is really fine by me because I love being able to eat! haha

So anyway, just...WOOT! =D Talk about a motivation booster!!! In another 20 pounds I will have reached my "normal" fat girl weight, the size I was all through my late teens and early twenties. I've lost over HALF of what I need to reach his goal weight for me...I CAN DO THIS!!! No, no...I AM DOING THIS!!!

Hi TLL! I'm a Lusco patient too.

Hi there, Leepers! Great to meet another bandster nearby! I can't believe you had surgery right before Christmas, what a trooper!!

Loosing weight and getting healthy/fit is what it's all about...no matter how you do it...

Awesome!!!
