Tomorrow marks eight weeks since I've had my surgery. I'm down 60 pounds. That number seemed huge to me this morning, whereas the ones before it were a little surreal. But 60 pounds? That's a second grader! My face is looking like my face again. I'm super tall, so 60 pounds on me looks like less than a smaller woman. Here I am in all my dirty hair, makeup-less glory...

Wonderful!!!!

You are a ROCK STAR!!! Fantastic! I'm nearing 4 weeks post-op

Congratulations! You look so much younger

Amazing ?

Oh well done! That is fantastic.

Wow 60lbs! ???. You rock !

60 pounds is alot... but if your getting your vitamins and protein and water in it should be fine.

I was told we all lose at different levels. I have pcos and fibromyalgia along with hiatal hernia and these can make a great difference.

I'm 2 days out for having surgery and starting to run that oh boy thoughts. But after hearing how well your loss is... yippee

Yes, everyone loses at their own rate. I'm getting tons of protein (often over 100g, but always at least 65g), always take my vitamins and iron (I'm anemic). The water I used to struggle with, but I'm really doing much better. Have learned if I'm in the window 30 min after meals and 30min before the next one, I should be drinking like it's my job. Also struggling a bit with the calcium, because I'm supposed to take it three times a day (THREE!!! Isn't that insane??). I understand the reasons and I've read the research that proves it's necessary, but man, it's hard to remember to take it. Between the iron (2x/day on an empty stomach--Floradix), multi-vitamin (1x/day, mine includes the recommended levels of B12 and thiamin I also have to take--Source of Life Liquid Gold), and calcium (3x/day), plus the Colace and my regular meds in the morning, I feel like a medicine-taking machine. And remember, you aren't supposed to take iron and calcium within two hours of each other. That makes it fun, LOL. Hard to imagine that's all FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. But yes, I'm getting everything I should except all three doses of calcium. Have to do better on that one.
