3 Months Post-Op

I went in to see my surgeon today for my 3 month post-op visit. I'll admit I was a bit nervous due to the fact I know my weight is going to slow down compared to the weight I dropped right after surgery and I wasn't exactly sure where I was since I don't weigh at home. I got on the scale though and I'm happy to say I was down 9lbs in the last 6 weeks for a total of 38lbs lost since surgery on February 17th. I was able to skip my 1st and 2nd fills. I have went from a size 18/20 in pants down to a 10/12. I'm so excited and just wanted to share.

I want to thank all of you that private message me and respond to my posts when I have a question. I truly appreciate all comments, questions and concerns.

congrats to you mommie !!! that is excellent news :o) You are doing so well :o)

Just dont get upset when the weight does slow down . There are times I lose a good amount I will drop anywhere from 2-3 pounds per week for a good two or three weeks and then I will hit a stall for a week or two weeks and start back up again.

Just dont get upset, and I know how hard that is , its easier said then done. Just keep doing what you are doing and the weight has to come off eventually :o)

You are doing excellent !!!

Thank you Steelerfan. I honestly didn't think I was down anymore than 4 or so lbs let alone 9 and I kept saying the last couple of weeks "I bet I end up with a fill since I seem to be at a stand still"...guess I was wrong LOL.

I know there will be weeks where I stall and I'm ok with that. Yes it will suck but you know, I have came along way these last 12 weeks. Further than I have the last 6 or so years so I'm not going to complain :0)

You are doing great, I had my surgery February 16 and I've lost 24 lbs. I wi**** was more, I've had 2 fills, but I still don't feel any restriction. I've been exercising like crazy, wish I could loose it faster...

Thank you Carol. You are doing great too though. 24lbs is nothing to be upset about. Hopefully here soon you will reach that happy spot and it will start coming off faster although we don't want it coming off too fast ;0)

Congrats and keep it up!
