Hello all, I just had to share my excitement!! After listening to my doctor tell me the first 6 weeks post-op are not for losing, possibly gaining, and reading all the posts (including my own) on how it is frustrating and confusing how you don't lose weight post-op, I've DONE it!! I've turned the page and it feels awesome!
I've been doing everything I'm suppose to do; exercising, eating my full amount of Protein everyday, watching what I eat (few exceptions) and the weight would just NOT come off. I kept telling myself what I knew was true, but I tried SO hard to move that scale everyday and it wouldn't budge!
Well Friday I found my favorite pair of capri jeans (bought 2pr actually I loved them so much) that I have'nt been able to get into since Jan 2007. I found them in my closet and thought, "let me see how much longer it's going to be until these fit". Well, THEY FIT and with room to spare. I literally screamed out loud and was ecstatic! I wore them to work, and FINALLY got comments from nearly everyone about how great I look (NO ONE had said a single word since surgery about my weight loss-except DH of course but he doesn't count :thumbup:).
I got on the scale and had lost 2lbs! I got on the scale today and lost another lb. I FINALLY feel like my body has figured out what I did to it and is adjusting..DOWN. I am so totally thrilled and LOVE my band.
This was my first "mini" goal and it is done! My next goal is to lose 15lbs by May 24th (our DisneyWorld trip) which I believe is totally attainable. I just had to share, thanks for all the support..did I mention, I LOVE MY BAND?!!!
