How much have you lost so far?
Hello everyone,
I thought I was the official slow loser!!! We need an election...or should it be a pageant? Miss Slow Loser!
Surgery date: 12-12-03
Weight day of surgery 251
Weight Lost prior to surgery 10 pounds
Weight lost since surgery 67 pounds
Total loss 77 pounds
It is coming off WAY too slowly for me! This week has been TORTURE! The scale is either staying the same or going up a pound! OH HOW I HATE THIS. I think I am more weight obcessed than I was before surgery! I want SO desperately to lose enough by this weekend (husbands employers- Employee appreciation day at Busch Gardens) to be able to say that I have lost 70 pounds!!! Also, the new shorts that I just bought today would fit better if I lost a couple more pounds! TIGHT!
I have noticed something. When I wear anything a little tight it looks twice as tight because my skin has lost so much firmness and when you squeeze one place it is like a toothpaste tube, it all squeezes to another place. It used to just squeeze it in, now it just places it somewhere else. UGH!
I have been REALLY REALLY good today, so I am hoping for a pound off in the morning! Wish me luck! I have been so down about this, I NEED a loss! Best of luck to you all! Tracy

I had open rny on 12-01-03 I am -80lbs. Its seems like My pounds fall off in spurts.
Slow December baby here too!!! Lost 20lbs. on pre surgery diet, 58 lbs. since surgery (as of April 26th, haven't weighed since then and probably won't for another couple of weeks). Trying to focus on feeling so much better!! Not how slowly the weight is coming off but sometimes that is difficult!!
I have always heard that "slow and steady wins the race", so we are all winning!!!
Have a great day,
