FINALLY... hit my 40 pound loss mark!

I’ve lost 40 pounds since I started my weight loss journey 3 weeks before surgery. Have lost 26 pounds since surgery, which was 9/11/17. I knew I’d be one of those slow losers, because no matter how hard I’ve tried to lose weight, it has always been a struggle. It may be slow, and it sure isn’t easy, but I’m doing it! :)

Wow! You don’t sound like a slow loser at all! That’s a very good amount of weight to lose in less than a month. How long would it take to lose that without surgery?

I’m only 3 days down but can’t wait to see the difference. How are your clothes feeling? Have you gone down in size yet?

I had my surgery on 8/29 also and hit my 40lb loss as well. It doesn't seem like much compared to others but for me it's a ton.

It’s 40 pounds in almost 4 months, not one month. I started dieting on Aug. 15th, and had lost 14 pounds pre-op, and then lost the 26 post op since 9/11/17, for a total of 40 pounds lost. Yes, I have gone down in jeans from a size 16 to a 10. I can get into my size 8s, but still wear my 10 and 12s for comfort. Also have dropped in size in tops from a 2X to a large, which is still comfortable, and not tight at all.:) And is met a nice guy, that I had my first date with tonight and all went great! A real gentleman, and we have lots in common. :)
