4 months out...surgeons goal met...but a little pissy!
Today is my 4 month surgeversary...
I have met my surgeons top weight goal 148-158
Hit 158 yesterday..that's something, I guess...
I'm a little pissy cause I only lost 5 lbs this month...
I have a couple reasons that I could have had such a low month
1..I'm about 25 lbs from my ultimate goal of 130 and maybe even though im only 4 mts out its going to be tougher to get it off...
2.. I started to really exercise this month( for me anyway... I'm no Keith L!!)
Maybe I added a little muscle mass??
I know I sound Whiney, and I know I shouldn't, I try to stay ZEN about the whole thing..especially since I loose "oddly" ...2 week stall followed by 2 week loss..
I guess I just expected more...
OH WELL!! A loss is a loss and I still love my sleeve...truly it has given me my life back!
Have a great long weekend!!
Dang girl! 50 lbs. in 4 months...for a lightweight? That's friggin' FANTASTIC! I'm just a few weeks away from that 4 month mark but I'm in such a major stall (not one ounce lost in 10 days!) I'll be lucky to finally hit the big 5-0 :-)
You wouldn't have developed any real muscle mass yet; HOWEVER, once you start exercising you will almost always start retaining more water as your muscles try to cope with the new routine. I encourage you to take your measurements today and then check them again in 30 days. Even if you don't drop a lot of weight I bet money you will drop some major inches.
Hang in there - I'll be cheering for you!

Happy Surgeversary, Sleeve Sister. I had forgotten it is mine, as well. Its wonderful that you are within 25 pounds of your goal already. I know that weight loss slows as you approach goal, and it must be frustrating, but think of it as a soft landing at your idea weight!
It won't be long, even at a slow rate - just a few months and you'll be there.
Congratulations.
