Grrrrrrrrrreat job, Nobel!! That's an incredible difference!
I started out in a women's 20W-22W (2X-3X) plus size and am now in misses size 12!! I'm in a medium!! I'm finding clothes that I'd set aside for when I "got down to them" that are now too big! I passed right by them because I didn't think they'd fit me for awhile yet. I tried them on this past weekend and found that they are wayyyy too big on me!! THAT was exciting!!
Time to go buy new clothes again!! LOL!
Great job, Nobel!! You're an inspiration!!

Topic: RE: my surgeon
That's awful, in my opinion. My nut says they expect their patients to loose 1/2 of their excess weight by 6 months. For me that would be around 75 at 6 months. I've lost 50 since surgery and I think that is pretty dang good. Especially considering I lost 60 before surgery. I see my surgeon on Wed, so we'll see what he has to say.
Topic: RE: my surgeon
I had my 16 week checkup last Thursday, I've lost 52 lbs. since surgery and my doctor and dietician were very happy!! They explained that everyone loses weight differently and much depends on how much you have to lose. I eat 3 meals a day and don't snack, I have a protein shake each morning as well. Don't be too hard on yourself, you've come along way and just keep up the good work.
Topic: RE: my surgeon
I have only lost 60 also, I thought that was good, have not seen my surgeon since 4 wks post op, Yes my plan was 3 meals w/out any snacking but I do snack sometimes but I know I do not eat enough at meal time, I started at 288 I did think I would have lost more but i'm happy w/ results, I need to exercise more that is my biggest problem.
