14 Month Update

It's hard to believe it has been 14 months since my surgery. My how time flies! I am now minus 176 lbs!!  I am fighting with this last stubborn  lb to reach the high end of my Surgeons goal of 240 lbs. I am at 241, How frustrating!!! On the good side I measured the other day and have lost another 8 inches around my thighs!! WOW, I hadn't measured in about three months now and was amazed at this, also lost almost 8 inches around my waist!  I am feeling great and hope to continue to lose, I am lucky enough to say so far there has not been a month that I haven't lost weight(knock on wood). GO ME!! You all are so wonderful and such a great source of support! Thanks for everything!! Juanita

Juanita, Good Morning!   That is wonderful news!  Keep up the good work.  I only hope that I too can keep loosing like that.  You're looking good. Beth

We are very proud for you.  You are an inspiration to us all.

WOW!  You have lost my 14 year old son!!!  Actually, more...he's about 150.  That is amazing!  I want to be just like you!!!  Congrats! Rhonda

Hey Juanita!  Congrats, you are an inspiration.  Just remember, every little 1/2 pound and every little 1/2 inch get you that much closer to goal.  You are doing fantastic to still have a loss this far out!  Keep up the great work and hope to see you Saturday!

That is wonderful Juanita! You've come a long way! Congratulations on your 14 month surgiversary. You're inspiring to many!

Today is my 15 month surgiversary. These past few months have been a roller coaster for me and the weight has been a lot harder to come off. I have an appt. with my surgeon tomorrow. I'm a nervous wreck b/c 1) I haven't lost much weight since my last appt and 2) I'm pregnant. I just wonder what he'll say about that. I'm more concerned over the fact that I have only lost 10lbs since the end of march. I had lost more but the scale is not being friendly this morning. I think it is all the salty crackers and stuff that I keep shoving in my mouth. They really help with my queasy stomach. Of course, I haven't felt like exercising at all. Oh well. Wish me luck tomorrow.

 Again, congratulations!!

I wouldn't worry about it hon. You have done great! The fact that you are pregnant should explain not wanting to work out and having to eat what stays down or helps queeziness. I'm sure your not the first they have had that gets preg after WLS.I'm sure they will be estatic about that. As for slow weight loss since march you are or were still losing so that is always a good thing. Good luck Tom, let us know how it goes! Happy 15 month Surgiversary!!!!

Wow Juanita! -176lbs!!  I'm so proud of you!  You have came a long way.  Congratulations! Keep up the hard work!  ~Amber~
