WAHOO...dropped another pound (3 weeks post-op)

WAHOOO...dropped another pound....now I am 1 lb less than when I went in for my TT 3 weeks ago.
Still have some swelling in my upper thighs and butt but I still fit in my pre-surgery size 8 jeans.  Pretty sure I cannot fit into size 6 yet, but I might go to the store in the next day or so and try on a pair just for fun.

I can't wait to see the final number once all the swelling is gone......I'll be THRILLED if I am down 5 lbs from my pre-surgery weight (Surgeon removed close to 7lbs of skin) and can close the zipper on size 6 jeans.  What a dream come true.  When I started my weight loss journey I thought if I could get down to size 16 or 14 I'd be happy.....then I thought 12 was great and stoked when I fit into size 8.  If I go down 1 size after plastics I'd be doing the happy dance for years....

congratulations on the pound. i was losing after surgery and i just quit this week. i'm not tooo worried about it though, figure just a stall.  i only want to lose 4.6 pounds to real a goal of 142.  i don't want to get below that. my doc wanted me at about 165-175, can u imagine. i still can't figure out why he would want me to weigh that much.  take care. vick

Lady - I know exactly what your talking about.  I told myself the same thing about sizes.  I am living my dreams buying and shoping for size 8's.  Just can't believe it.  I still think I will wake up and be a size 26 again....so congrats on the weight loss and tt!!!

That is just wonderful.  I am so happy for you!!!  I am going to live the dream too.  Next Monday is my surgery!!!  So excited and scared then excited.  Wow I have lost 2 pounds just because my tummy is so nervous that I am not eating much.  LOL

Hope I do as good as you are doing!!

Hugs

Ruth I printed the list you sent me and got all the stuff on it.  So now I am ready.  BUT SCARED and EXCITED!!!  How can I ever thank you for all your help.

I am going to take my computer so hopefully i can get on line.  I will post soon as I can.

But you will probably hear alot from me this week for sure.

Hugs and kisses and thanks so so so much!!!!!!

Hi Cindy,
My pleasure to share what I've learned and experienced.  Feel free to PM me is you have specific questions....I'm happy to share.

I'll be thinking of you on Monday.  Please send me a note when you are up to it.  And don't worry if you don't feel like getting on line the first couple of days ....I know I didn't feel like it on day one. I think I might have logged on for 15 mins the following evening.

Take care!
Ruth

Congratulations Ruth, wish I could lose a lb. I'm beginning to think I'm through losing, would love to get to 150 but it seems impossible since I haven't lost any weight since April. I'm wearing size 4/6 pants but still wear a Large top until I can get the girls/back fat taken care of, trying to hide the fat with a larger top but it doesn't always work.

Hi Debi!
Hey wearing a size 4/6 is great!!  Your body may have stopped losing at the point it is meant to.  I know how much the extra skin your surgeon left on is annoying you (you know I'd be angry too!), I still one day soon you'll be able to get a good revision.  

Take care!!

I bet once the swelling subsides you'll lose even more. I think I was more swollen than I realized and I guess now at 3 months post-op I'm rid of it.

 I'm not sure what's going on with me. I've lost 8 pounds since surgery 3 months ago and I know he didn't take off nearly that much skin (plus I had about 3 pounds of boobs added) LOL  I'm not complaining but I really don't want to lose much more.
