FINALLY... hit my 40 pound loss mark!



Recommended Posts

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. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
