XP: Don't want to jinx myself, but I'm losing again!!

I lost almost 80lbs in my first 3 months. Got a hernia and lost an additional 56lbs by Dec.1st. Then I gained 10lbs over the month of Dec. I know, wow!! From Jan 1st to the 11th I got back down to 202, thanks you DS and LOW carbbing!

I had my hernia repair the 11th of this month. Loads of fluid and all that. On the day I was released I weighed 211.8. I have since regained my restriction. It's almost like I'm 3 months post op again. 1 egg and a pre cooked sausage patty and I'm good.

As of this morning I weigh 196lbs!!! So freaking awesome. 1 more lb and I will be 140lbs down! Unreal! Next goal, to weigh 188. That will be 1lbs below my lowest known weight. I weighed that at age 18 when I found out I was preggo! AND I had starved, to say the least, to get to that. I was over 200lbs by age 11! So this is freakin awesome ya'll!! LOVE my DS!

Thanks for letting me blab!!

Ruby, congrats on reaching a goal!  I remember being so happy when I could finally say I was "a hundred" and something.  Felt really normal.

I curious about what effect the hernia had on your weight loss.  You lost steadily for the first 3 months and then got the hernia and then what happened in month 4???

Hey, Jenny! Thank you!

I don't know if it was the hernia but it sure seems that way. Around the time I got the hernia I got bathroom issues, Constipation. It was harder to go. Also, it's normal for weight loos to slow at 3 months, then again at 6 month and so on. What is so weird is the restriction. Once I got the hernia I would have tiny tummy days but I could eat more. Now I can eat so much less. Every day is a tiny tummy day, thus far! Also, I'm a daily weigher and today I weigh 195, which puts me at -140lbs. Whatever it is, I like it.

Thanks again! Ruby

Thosa plateaus stink.. glad your losing again ! Hang in there it will all go away in time.

They sure do! Thanks, Ginger!

Love you Ruby and I'm so happy for you.  Thank you for being there for me through my Dad's death, even though you were going through your surgery and pain at the same time.  You truly are a precious jewel, that's why the name Ruby fits you so well!

Diane, honey, you're too sweet!! Thank you so much! When I woke from surery and was good and stable, the first thing I though of was you. My heart breaks for you! If you need me, you got the number! Lots of love,sweetie!!
