3 Months

So I had my 3 month anniversary earlier this week.

I did not measure myself.. I know stupid... but have been droping inches, I can tell from my bras and pants that are all getting too big.

I am down 41 lbs since surgery and 63 since I was referred in December 2011. what's absolutley stupid, I am unreasonably dissapointed in my results. I had my heart set on 20 lbs a month.. So, I know it's unreasonable to be upset, so I am working through that in my own way. Makes me feel like a little bit of a crazy person, but at least I know it's unreasonable for me to be dissapointed.

I have gone from a size 2X or 20 or larger to a comfortable 14. People have been noticing my weight loss and I have once again become invisible, which is a really good thing. I don't feel like people are staring at me anymore or judging what I am eating.

There is a food court where I work, and I am always careful to avoid going there on PMS days and since I have told people at work that I am on a low carb diet, I have not got the fries with vinegar that I have been craving. I love my sleeve because it gives me that control to not go get the fries and eat them in my car!

Even though the first month was pretty tough, I have ZERO regrets! Well that's a lie, I regret not getting it sooner! I know it sounds cliche, and something that everyone says it, but it's so true.


I may get brave enough to post pics, but wont put my face in them since I have kept my sleeve confidential with co-workers. I have pretty much told everyone that I know other than the people that I work with. I haven't got there yet lol but maybe soon :)

OMG a size 14 holy crow, you are doing fantastic.  Congratulations!!! You are an inspiration, not everyone loses quickly, but you have.  I know I want it to just melt off to, but alas that is not the way it will be for me, but slow and steady wins the race.  I am so happy for you I can't get over it a size 14 wow!!! 

I love hearing from people like you!!  I'm three weeks post-op and I keep telling myself that in 3 months from now, I'll be thinking this was the best thing ever.  Right now I find it hard but I know it's a learning curve!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations!!

Great job I think!!! And yes, definitely work through that nonsense of not having good enough results because its fantastic weight loss and weight that will stay off for good! Silly you..

 Wow you're doing great congratulations!  I am just over 3 months now and am down 56.2 lbs and just saw the nut who said that I was right on target now.  I know how we all would like to lose the weight as quickly as possible but I am really afraid of getting stones if I lose too quickly.  Keep up the good work! 

 Thanks everyone.. :) 
I suppose if I had excersized any, I would have got closer to my desired loss...lol

I am off work next week on vacation and will be getting on my dusty treadmill..time to get back to running like I used to. .
