Three month report !
I am three months out from VSG ! For those who want to know these things; here is how it has gone for me :
Month 1 -- lost 20 lbs (stall began beginning of week 4)
Month 2-- lost 10 lbs (stall lasted 3 full weeks)
Month 3-- lost 12 lbs
Grand Total 42 pounds lost in 3 months !
I lost 34 pounds pre-op for a total weight loss of 76 pounds since August !!!!! I have gone from a size 30 top (size 48 bra) to a size 20 top (size 42 bra) and from a size 28w jean to a 18w jean.
For some, this may seem like a "slower" weight loss, but I can't really compare myself to anyone else --- I am me. A unique 55 year old woman with severe arthritis. I have been morbidly obese for more than 20 years. I weigh less than I did 20 years ago, and in 2 pounds (and you can be sure I am going to post about it soon !!) will no longer be morbidly obese~~~~~ just obese ! My BMI has dropped by 12 points already !
I am not in a race to be healthy, I am in a new lifestyle to STAY healthy.
If I have a short term goal, it would be to lose my 100th pound by August. I think that losing 100 pounds in a year would be an awesome accomplishment !
I LOVE my sleeve !

Congratulations. I am also over "half a hundred," 51 years old, and will hit my 2 month mark on Monday.
Love the positive, self assurance I hear. I'm grateful to hear you reaffirm that we each have our own path, with our own pace. Patience is one virtue I am short on, but would NEVER pray for by the way
, but the reminders that the changes are coming are very welcome.
Thanks for sharing.
