Today is my 3 month anniversary!
Well, today is my 3 month anniversary. Please check out my profile. I have a panoramic view of my weightloss at 1, 2 and 3 months. I don't have a great pre-op picture. I'm waiting to get one from my Dr. But I took the 1 month picture early, at about 19 pounds of weightloss. I had lost a total of 26 pounds the first month. I have lost a total of 50 pounds in 3 months. So not too shabby. I guess I expected more but beggars can't be choosy. And the slower the weightloss, the better, I know! I have about 75 more pounds to go but I'm already starting to love how I look at 3 months
Take care everyone!
Thanks! I like it long too. Like my friend said, I need to find a hobby! She was like, do you know how many people would kill to have your hair and you go and chop it all off and then dye it JET BLACK? LOL. First off all, I asked the lady to cut it not to chop it of. But then I looked at some old pictures where my hair was long and I thought to myself, what in the world did I do?! So I went and got my hair braided with highlights. It's funny cause I went to visit my parents and my mom, who is asian, she forgot I had cut my hair off and thought that this was my hair. LOL. It'll grow back though. Until then, I will keep it braided! I HATED the short jet black hair!
You know. My co-worker got the lap-band a few weeks ago (i convinced to alteast do that because she was afraid of RNY). Well, she's losing almost 1.5 pounds to 2 pounds a day so i'm freaking out cause i'm like wth?! I mean what is wrong with me? But I can't compare myself to other people because all of us are different. I just pray i continue to lose weight.
Yeah i feel like i'm losing slowly. I mean most people have lost 50 pounds after 2 months. But then again, the slower I lose the better because I won't have as bad of a sagging skin problem. Now i'm atleast down to what I was before right before I got down to 180 and I didn't have any sagging skin at all, so let me just be grateful and hope I continue to lose. I loved seeing the scale move everyday but now it's like maybe once a week or once a month it has moved.
Hey!
Yesterday was my 3-month anniversary too! I have lost close to the same as you (47 pounds). I feel the same about it being slower than expected, but my Dr says I am actually right on track- and the slower- the less likely to have too much excess skin later. I guess that's an ok tradeoff, right?
Well, Contratulations on your anniversary!
