11 months out
Hey Dawn,
My surgery date was Oct. 1st, 2003. Only two days after your surgery. I started out heavier than you, 362lbs. I have lost 155lbs., so far. My goal is to reach 160lbs. Then have my Tummy Tuck! I only have 7 more pounds to go, to reach my year goal of 200lbs. Good question! Take care. Your WL Buddy, Jane
Well, I'm not doing near as good as you... started at 309 and only lost 82 lbs so far now at 227. I feel a lot better but I swear that hearing how everyone has lost over 100 lbs is getting me down. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong and if I've stopped losing. I haven't lost in over 2 months. Glad for you though.. congratulations! Pam
Pam,
Don't get bummed or discouraged. I was at the same wt. from End of June all the way thru most of August. I was totally bummed but decided in July to put away the scale.... took the batteries out and don't even bother now... I evaluated what I was eating and didn't really change too much but cut out some of the carbs and quit stressing the scale..(I swear I am a total scale slave if I don't shove that sucker in a hole).. well to make a long story almost done once I started doing some reevaluations, a little tiny bit of walking and quit stressing the scale I started dropping again. Last time I checked I had lost another 10 lbs but that was about a month ago and I am sure that I have lost even more yet because the clothes are telling me so.
Good Luck and don't get bummed.... If you do what you're supposed to do your body will do what it's supposed to do. Keep me posted. Angie
