My surgery date is the 22nd. As of today I have lost 51 lbs since surgery. I need to shop but don't want to spend the money since I am still losing. The thrift stores here stink. Oh well. My problems could definitely be worse. I could had been denied the surgery!

Good morning!  I'm a week behind on for the 3 month anniversary but WOW!  58 pounds!  Rock it!  I'm down 45.5 as of this morning.  My "surgiversary", as they like to call it here, is next Sunday, the 22nd.  I'm hoping to hit 50 by then but it's not looking like it'll happen!  Oh well.  C'est la vie!

Congratulations on your loss!!  Keep up the phenomenal work!

I totally need to do the measurements!  I still too lazy!!  LOL  I am, though, starting to really notice a difference in my clothes . I was in a 22, pushing a 24 quite well, when I went into surgery.  I'm going to a professional conference in New Orleans this week and wanted clothes that fit!  I was so excited to fit into an 18!!  So, I'm not buying anything else (hadn't planned to buy ANYTHING until I was done losing) but figured this was a good reason!  I was very excited that the 18 fit!  It's been 10 years since I wore that size!  YAY  (Though, I must admit to still being just every so slightly jealous of  your 13's!)

Anyhow.. thanks for support.  It feels so good to be feelin' good!  I'll be looking forward to hearing how your bloodwork goes this week!!!

I am just over 3 months out and at my last weigh about 3 weeks ago I had lost 77 lbs!  I decided to only weigh every 3 weeks since I have a tendency to be obsessed with the scale! LOL! I am weighing tomorrow so fingers crossed that I have lost a chunk. I am never really hungry (except the old head hunger), I do not dump (at least haven't yet) and have had no complications. I weigh/measure everything that goes in my mouth and I journal my food. I drink between 80-100 oz of water daily, take my vits and exercise (walk about a mile a day and CURVES 3 x weekly). Dieting will never be easy, but I am determined to succeed this time. Best wishes to all of you Dec. surgery folks-lets keep up the good work! Have a blessed week.

Julie, that is wonderful about the percentage of weight loss already. 31% is nuts. (I should figure out mine)  You're doing so great and your support on the Dec board is so appreciated.
