6 Weeks Post Op Report

Hello Everyone,

So far so good. As of today, I have lost a total of 50 pounds.......WOOOHOOO!!!!

I got to tell ya, when you are on this journey, you have to Celebrate the small victories. As each week passes, you may find youself discouraged at times. You can't expect to lose 10 pounds or 8 pounds each week. Some times you lose 8 pounds, some times you lose 2 pounds. The point is that you are LOSING weight. I told myself that I will celebrate when I am in the 250's. Well, I did it! I was 260lbs last week, this week I am 258. I thought I would never see the 250's again, yet here I am. This inspires me to get in the gym and work harder than I have been already. For me, its not enough that I lose the weight, I also want to be healthy and look good in the process. I plan on putting on muscle. Believe you me, my wife appreciates that goal. Anyway......my advice to anyone who needs it is not to be discouraged if you only lose 1 or 2 pounds. Use it as motivation and try to work harder to continue to lose weight and achieve your goals. Celebrate your victories no matter how big or small.

Good luck!

Kenneth

    Oh, no worries. I've made peace with it. As long as the scale is moving down, however slowly, I will get to where I'm going eventually. Good luck to you and congrats on your success so far!

Or, if you are a "slow loser" like me, most times you lose 0.2.

I hope your losses increase until you meet your goals. Good luck. :)
