9 weeks out, -40 pounds

I am 9 weeks post op and have lost 40 pounds. I can tell a little bit in myself and others say they can really tell. I feel great! I started morning of surgery at 311, this morning I weigh 271. -40 might not be good to some people but I am thrilled with it! I have lost 4 pounds just since Monday. My surgeon thinks I will be at his goal by Christmas, that is me weighing 157 pounds. I personally want to get to 140, but I don't know if he will let me. He said something about starting the maintence phase at 157, but we are going to discuss it, lol! Just wanted to share my happy news. Oh, also, more happy news, we got approved for our new HOME!!! So I am literally on cloud nine this morning! How are all of u doing this morning? Lots of love and God Bless Angela

Congratulations on your weight loss! I have been following your story because I think that you had your surgery around the same time I did. My RNY was 02/14/05 and I have lost 48 pounds. It has been a hard road. i had a scope yesterday and found out that I have a small ulcer. I have a hard time getting all of the protein in, I am CARB lover. I constantly worry that I am eating too much and streatching out my stomach, but i am a constant worrier. Keep up the good work and enjoy your new home! Congrats, Toni W

Wonderful Angela. Kepp up the great work. Just a word of advice from a 3 year out person. Don't count your weight lose to far in advance. I t does slow down. But, you will contiue to lose until your body says "STOP!" Also, wonderful news about your new home. Enjoy. Diane
