6 week appt

Had my 6 week follow up today with my surgeon.  I am down 28 pounds from my highest weight.  I am not losing as fast as some of you guys but the dr was thrilled.  I was released to eat all foods (no sweets or fried foods) and I lost 6.5 inches off my waist.  I was pretty psyched about that.

Wow, 6.5 inches off your waist! Now, that is exciting!  Have you dropped a size or two?  I tried on pants this afternoon and went from a 28 to 24. I'm really excited. I just wish I would have measured before surgery. I still need to measure, at least my waist and hips. 

I am where you are too.  I lost 30 from surgery.  I don't see my dr until I am 8wks out but he told me from the last time that his goal was about a 1-2 a week.  I met that goal, so I am happy.  Last time I weighed myself I was in a stall so I vowed not to weigh until I see him.  I not sure if I lost any lbs, but I know i lost lots of inches all over.  I went from a 22 to 18 and they are a little loose.  I'm happy about that.

Jill,
 Wow 6.5 inches, that's great, so is the 28 lbs.  When I am not losing weight I am losing inches, I finally have ankles and slowly getting some knees, lol! Keep up the good work, isn't it great being on the losers bench

hugs,
