1 Month Post Op !!! Ooooooooooooh!

Day of Surgery: 355 lbs 2 Weeks Post: 340 lbs (-15 lbs) 4 Weeks Post: 333.5 lbs (- 6.5 lbs) Current Weight: 333.5 lbs (-21.5 lbs) I feel much better saying -21.5 lbs ! I feel like -6.5 lbs is kind of a small amount to lose. But, there are some things I am taking into consideration for this one - First of all, the other times I weighed at my Dr's scale, first thing in the morning with no food or liquids in my body. For the 4 Week Post- I weighed in the evening after being full of liquid and solids, also on my period. *My mom said you shouldn't weigh when you're on your period because you can easily be 5-20 lbs heavier from water retention* Is that true? I was also weighed on a different scale, that I was kind of falling off of IT WAS CHILD SIZED!!! Some hospital scale! ugh!!! So I guess - woohoo. However - my ankles aren't so swollen, my thighs are dissappearing and I'm losing my ass and belly!! NOT MY ASS!!! I DONT WANT TO HAVE A BONY ASS!!! HOW DO PEOPLE SIT ON BONES?! LOL !!! How do you lose in inches and not in pounds!? Does that make ANY sense? 21.5 lbs Gone Forever!!!! I'm trying to stop comparing myself, because I feel like I should have lost more - but I'm trying not to be too hard on myself.

LOL thanks. I still have a portion of my ass left. I want to stop the fat from leaving my ass! LMAO I always told my mom I'd take some of it out of my ass to put into hers (she has a flat ass LOL) I must be losing in inches. I'm like the most critical of myself but I can tell some of me is missing! Thanks

You are doing great!! Congratulations. Loris

Thaaanks!!!

Serena, You are doing great! As you lose your body will be shifting weight. Strangely enough, I lost weight in the butt too. It seems to have settled out. I do exercise so I think I've built up some muscle back there. This is a weird journey...you are doing great though. Lori 384/237/199

LOL it's shifting South. It's very wierd. There's a picture on my profile - there's not MUCH of a differance, but yeah my tummy is heading South. Quite odd really because it doesn't seem like it's getting lower or anything. Hmmm.... LOL BUTT MUSCLE! Well I hope I can get some Butt Muscle going too - otherwise I'll have to get fat injections in my butt. LOL Thank you
