Final New Years Day Goal Check-In!

So yesterday was the first day of the new year.  How did you do during the previous month?  Did you attain what you were hoping to?

As you can see by my ticker, it does not say -40 lb lost. as I was hoping it would.  Instead it says -32.2 lb lost.  I missed my goal by 7.8 lbs. but I'm not disappointed.  Over the past month I've come to realize that my weight is going to come off at the same rate it did before gastric bypass...at -3-4 lbs. a week increments.  I was expecting it to go faster with the bypass but as long as I get DOWN and STAY DOWN this time, I don't care!  They say slower is "healthier" on the body, so I'll latch onto that for comfort.  lol

Have to jump in the shower and get ready to go have my ultrasound done on my neck this morning.  Will look forward to reading your posts later today!  {{{Group Hug!!!}}}

Happy New Year Shauna!  You are having a very positive outlook and just take what our bodies give us.   As long as we stay on track..it will happen!  Hope all goes well with your test today.  I took the day off to get a 4 day weekend and need to go shopping for trousers but i need some get up and go..lol

Take care,

Pam

Hey Shauna,
Well as you know my goal was a surgery date and I knew that was not going to happen so I changed my goal to not be depressed and have more patient and this was accomplished
(Thanks to a very wise woman  that gave me a good talking to lol)

I hope your ultrasound shows nothing to worry about!!

I'm had to work today but we're closing at 2:30 THANKS GOD!!!! I've been doing crossword puzzles for the last 3 hours!!!!

I will be so happy when my ticker can say 32.2 lbs lost  You're doing remarkable considering all of the crap you've had to endure before and since your surgery. Yes the weight
will definitely come off and Yes slower is healthy so don't you concern yourself. Just one day at a time!

Love and big HUUUUUGGGGG !!!

Well I wanted to be down 50 lbs by the 1st and I'm down 61 lbs according to my scales this morning so I'm happy with that, now just to get pass the vomiting stage and yes I'm 3 months out and it wasn't a turning point for me like I've heard it would be. I'm not sick as much as I was in the beginning but still at least once or twice a week and I was sick last night and after eating today I'm sick so hopefully my pouch is going to be good for awhile now.

I hope all is well with your ultrasound Shauna!
