5 months post op..am I doing ok?
Hey everyone I had my surgery 5 months ago vsg and will be converting to ds soon..my highest weight July of last year was 396..surgery weight 353 I am now 288...am I losing at the normal rate? I go for follow up on June 2nd and I just don't wanna disappoint my surgeon he has honestly saved my life..I was a little slow starting my work out routine I hurt my foot I think because of my weight and took me awhile to get back into it..Anyways I just need a little pep talk today I have such a long way still to go and it all has been so worth it..but I had it in my head it was basically just gonna fall straight off my big butt and just disappear lol oh well I guess I didn't click my ruby red slippers enough times anyways god bless and have a wonderful wonderful week!
WOW! in less than a year you have lost over 100 pounds! YEs, that definitely is amazing and you should be very proud of yourself! Keep it up. It is about making the journey last forever - not a sprint.

Don't question on whether you are doing OK or not! You have lost over 100 pounds in 5 months!!!! That's super awesome!!.. My surgeon reminded me I should always celebrate small wins. And if I talk about a "normal rate" I am judging my progress based on other people. And the journey is MINE not someone else's! Keep your head up and congrats on your accomplishment thus far!! Cheers!!!
PS.I'm 6 months out at 108 pounds TWL... Been where ur mind has been. My surgeon and her staff always bring me back in and remind me of MY super accomplishment. ;-)and never compare me to others.
Yourworking hard and trying your best and keeping a positive attitude. The way I see it, your already winning!!
