10 Months Post-Op Today

Hi Everyone, Well today I'm 10 months post-op and have ONLY lost 75lbs. I think that I'm the slowest loser ever to on had WLS but I'm not going to give up. I truly believe in my heart that the Lord will continue to guide and direct me to my destination. I'm still exercising daily (30-45 minutes), I'm drinking my liquids (over 64ozs daily), I'm getting in my protein (over 100gms) and I take my vitamins faithfully every day. Overall, I'm so much healthier than I was 10 months ago. I've gone from a size 30/32 dress to 22/24 and I feel really GREAT!!! I'm trying not to have my slow weight loss get me so depressed so I look to this website for so much encouragement and I just want to say THANK YOU all for giving me this support. 341/266/175

Hi Marilyn, I can understand how you would feel the way you do. I'm almost 2 months post-op and I've only lost 38 lbs. Other people are way ahead of me! But you know what, that was 38 lbs I wouldn't have lost if it wasn't for this surgery. I am feeling so much better and healthier already. Who's to know why some lose faster than others? I guess God made us all different for a reason. I thank God for the gift he has given me. We didn't gain the weight overnight and therefore we are not going to lose it overnight. So you just hang in there and know that you are doing a great job! My thoughts and prayers are with you on your journey. May God bless you! Jill

Hey I just wanted to say, when have you ever said I lost 75 pounds? Even though it has been 10 months that is a wonderful job you are doing. Sometimes the weight loss is slow but I say to myself, would this have happened before I had this surgery. Well good luck to you and take care of yourself, as long as you are happy and healthy, who cares!

Marilyn WTG on the weight loss that is great keep up the good work and big deal if your are not losing as fast as someone else dont let it get you down dont compair your self to someone else we are all different and will lose at are on pace and just think if it was not for WLS we would have not lost any weight at all. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will keep commig off Take Care Huggs Beth
