Topic: RE: Comparing to others and going nuts!!!
Ok I thought I was in this boat alone but, glad to see that I am not. I had my surgery on April 9 2008 and have lost 53 lbs and keep telling myself that I am going to the dr on Monday July 14 2008 and have to lose 14 more lbs by then cause my dr told me 67 lbs is the ideal weight loss for 3 months. So I have always worked out since I was given the go ahead by my dr but now I have stepped it up so lets see if I can do it ha ha in 5 days that is going to be hard. But all of yall are doing great and keep up the hard work it takes time i want to lose 100 lbs by tomorrow LOL!!! :-D

Congrats!!!!! On the 14th of July will be my 3 months. I have lost a total of 102 pounds. Doc said kinda fast but he wasnt worried. It has slowed down a bit. But keep up the good work. Im thankful that I had the surgery, I know you are.

I too had my surgery on 4/21 and have lost 38 lbs! Of course we would all love to lose more. But don't you feel wonderful and excited about your future? I do, and I could not have lost this weight any other way...believe me I have tried, I think you all understand. Robin I'm glad we are on the same track, it does make me feel better about the 38 lbs. I have thick curly hair so I haven't noticed much hair lost either. Best of luck to all! Valerie

My surgery was done on 4/28, and I have only lost 24 pounds. I try not to get discouraged after reading so many people go through slow losses. I was told that the more weight you have to lose, the quicker you lose it. Has anybody heard this?

Well as of today I am at 215, coming from 268 this is great. I am able to do more and not get winded. I do 3 miles a day on my treadmill and some arm excercises with my 5 pound dumbbells. Rahsheeda

No question is to embarassing ....we have to get through this together. I am having the same sort of results. I asked my doc and he said that I was fine. As long as there is no pain or blood.

I had my surgery on April 21 and have only lost 38.5 lbs compared to your 50 so I think you are doing an awesome job. Everyone is different and everyone tells me they already notice it and I notice nothing so I think everyone feels the same. Hair loss I have not noticed so I can't help with that. Good Luck Robin
