55 down!

I had my g. bypass on July 31, and as of yet Ive lost 55 pounds. I know I probably should have lost more than I have, but it seems to be going slow and steady. I really want to buy an ellipitical machine and start working out. I hope it gets better, I have my 5 month follow up with Dr. Shina and I know he's gonna let me have it!

That is wonderful!
Congrats on the loss!

 Losing 55 pounds in just a few  months is nothing to sneeze at!  Congratulations!

Hi  Stacey... I am close.. I am in Fairdale.  Also, a Dr. Shina patient.  Your loss is Great!  Don't compare yourself to others.  Everyone loses how their body wants to.  I have been a slow loser.  I see Dr. Shina in a couple of weeks for my year checkup.  I am sure he will tell you what he tells me when I wonder why I am losing slow.  "when's the last time you lost 55 lbs in 5 months"

Hang in there!  Congrats!!  Good luck with the exercise.  I am a YMCA junkie.
