On August 8 I had sleeve surgery. That's four months ago today. I went into this with no expectations; I was pretty much convinced it wouldn't work.

Then the weight began to fall off.

As I passed 90 pounds gone, and got closer to 4 months, I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if I lose 100 pounds by four months????

Did my body cooperate??? Nooooooooooo. I'm at 98 pounds down. The biatch is hanging onto those two pounds for dear life.

STOMP RANT FUSS STOMP RANT FUSS!!!!!

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP

STOMP STOMP STOMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before:

4 months and 98 pounds down:

Thanks for sharing about your exercise. So sorry to hear about your foot. I have had that many years ago and I know what I went through was very difficult. I hope that with the weight .loss it will be easier for you to heal. I am sure there are still some exercise you can do even if it is just sit down for now. Don't let this derail you, keep on going strong.

You've done well, eventually it will slow down too.. and you have to look for your body pattern.. I found mine will stick to the same weight for about 2.5-3 weeks, then I lose 5-6 pounds in one week, then I'm back to my mini plateau.. however, now.. during that 2-3 weeks of non weight loss, I'm losing inches like crazy.

WOW Sharon you lost so much in 4 months. You look fantastic and I never would have guessed you were not in the 200's yet. Have you started to exercise yet? If so, what are you doing? Keep going strong.

I was walking several days a week until about 3 weeks ago. I've having difficulty with a nerve that goes into my leg (unrelated to surgery) as well as plantar fasciitis in one foot, so I've backed off for a while.

I'm also 5 ft 7 inches tall, which helps me carry the weight in a "thinner" looking way.

I saw some friends tonight that I haven't seen since before my surgery. I got lots of "oh my gosh, you're skinny!". I had to laugh, since I'm still in the 300's.

do you go to a gym? Try to still get in weights if you can.. also, my gym has a bike for the arms.. which helps those who are not able to walk still get their heart rates up.. or rowing.. or we have a rope machine as well.. Swimming is also an option if you have an indoor pool around.

@Sharon1964 WHOA !!!!!!! Girrrrrrrrrrrl ... just look at you rocking those BOOTS and short skirt !!!

I'm so so so happy for you!!!!

I have to say that I am a bit jealous. I had my surgery on August 17th and am only 64 lbs down. My doctor says I'm doing great but I'm hoping to lose 64 more. Right now just hopeful for onderland by the 6 month mark. And I agree with poster who said my business is protein, fluids, vitamins, and exercise. I believe that the lbs will come off eventually. Also you are doing GREAT and should not worry about 2 lbs. They will come off. Keep up the good work.

That is a great loss.. don't be jealous..

That's fantastic! I lost mine this way & 9years on I'm still a very happy size 12. X

To show just how very silly my silly rant was, Friday I was 301. Now five days later, I'm at 292.

Still have a fever, but hey, I'll take it.

Sorry about the fever.......but you are doing GREAT !!!!!

I ended up with pneumonia, got some strong antibiotics, and strict orders to rest.

And I dropped to 288 pounds! YAY ME!!!

Oh my goodness! Take care!

Get those antibiotics in ya!

Probably not the way you were expecting to drop weight so fast but hey, it works and it would've come off anyway!

Just get better please!

Your weight loss doesn't count when you're sick because chances are when you feel better, you'll eat more and the weight may go up. I remember when I weighed myself after having a colonoscopy. Of course I had lost five pounds in one day...but I gained it all back once I started to eat again.
