From the 200's to the 100's

Sometimes the number on the scale can be so frustrating!  Good grief, I feel like I've been waiting and waiting to get in the 100's!  45 pounds since I started my preop diet...I wi**** were 65...but overall I'm happy and doing the best that I can do. Probably not as good as others but cie la vie!  Slow and steady wins the race, I hope!  

I have also sensed that majority works in the 100's and I also am steadily getting under 50 which is great.. best of luck.

You'll get there.  Use seeing the 1-something number on your scale as motivation.  Keep doing what you're doing.  Losing 45 pounds on your pre-op diet is a fantastic start.  

I am 29 days post-op VSG.  I am finally in the 270s...highest wt 349 pre-surg wt 298  .  I share your joy!  Being in the 200s again keeps me motivated to continue the road to goal wt 165.

TRY TRY TRY not to compare YOUR journey, to that of other--at least not when it comes to the "numbers". Everyone loses (and gains!) at different rates. You just keep on doing what you KNOW to be CORRECT, and you will receive the POSITIVE results you desire!!

Gina, you are SO RIGHT! All our journeys are so different. Thank you for reminding me. Christine

I use to play a head game with myself....  When I was in the 330's, I would make my goal the next 10.  For example come on Kathy you can make it to 329 and then 319 and then 309.  I found for me I could manage 10 pound blocks at a time anymore and I would get freaked out since I had so much to lose.

You are doing great, headed the right way and keep noting how great you feel, the more you can do and how your clothes are fitting you and or falling off you  We look forward to your updates.
