My wow moment...or moments...

Prior to my PS, I had hit my lowest weight of 161, then bounced back up to 165 and just kinda stayed there for about 1 1/2 months. I figured OK.. my body is happy here, and I was not unhappy at this weight. Would have liked to have hit my goal of 150, but was willing to accept the 165. My surgeon told me to STOP losing at 170.

Well when I got home from PS, I was at 170 due to the swelling. The surgeon said he removed about 3 lbs of skin. Then the implants added a bit back on. I finally had hit a point where I was hanging around 165 again, for about a week and a half. Well, over the course of the last 5 days, (even before being sick) I have gone from 165 to 158! The lowest yet since wls! Soooo great to see that scale moving down again...

I think it has a lot to do with protein! I supplement with protein every morning and night in the past week and thats when the weight starting going off again..

Anyhow, just wanted to share! It is so kewl.. i haven't lost this quickly since early out from my wls. Told my hubby I feel like I just had wls again...7 lbs in 5 days! YEAYYYYYYYY!!!!! 8 more lbs and I will be at my goal!  4 more pounds and I am a normal BMI.

Congratulations! You've worked hard and it's awesome when you get to see and feel the results.
Enjoy~

congratulations!!!!  i know how good it feels to get close or at goal.  you hang in there lady, you can do it. vick

Thanks ladies! I am hoping I can keep it moving down...just another 8 lbs anyhow!
Vick.. you want my extra 8 lbs? that'll get ya closer to where you need to be??!!! lol. Ahh if only it were so easy.

That's great Patrece! My scale is finally moving down again to, and it is such a great feeling after a stall. I can only begin to imaging being so close to goal. The normal BMI goal is a great one! I'll be rooting for you -
