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?!!!:mellow::)

CONGRATS!!! I will be banned in the morning:willy_nilly:. I am with you on the WOW! Last weekend I pulled on a pair of 18 jeans that I haven't be able to pull up in over 2 years! On Wed. those same jeans were lose on my legs. I did something to my ankle over the weekend and couldn't exercise all week, so I am extra happy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
