Just shy of 5 months post-op... Down 40lbs, when I was down almost 80... my doctor says "Don't worry Yvette, this is normal. Especially in people with your body type, your weight gain is muscle not fat, don't be upset."

Ok so I'm not gonna lie, I'm a lil' upset. I KNOW I build muscle really fast, and I KNOW muscle weighs more than fat.. I get all that.. I KNOW my weight is down and so are my clothing sizes and inches.

I'm just I dunno.. a lil' skewed on all of this. I finally got to a fill point where I was almost "too tight" but it was working.. I missed my follow up fill because I was traveling.. and so I went to my month appointment yesterday and although I was down 8.8 pounds which I know I should be happy about and I am.. I'm just like shouldn't it be MORE...

I don't even know why I'm complaining.. I shouldn't be. I guess I'm just feeling the pressure of my 6 months and then my year coming up and my own personal goals in there.. relax Yvette...slow and steady wins the race... :thumbup:

Congratulations on your weight loss! any weight that comes off should be a celebration, and it really is! think back a year, and what you were getting ready to wear over the summer. I know I was not happy with the size clothes I was in, or how I looked in any of those clothes. Here I am, six and a half months after surgery, and my wardrobe is very different, and I am actually starting to like what I see in the mirror.

You are doing great! Keep it up! I am so proud of you!

Girl you are doing awesome! Don't worry about the scale, it's a number only you know! What matters is how you look, and watch out! LOL you look great! Plus you are losing!!! I know though, I had goals for 6 months and a year too, but if I were you I would focus on the little goals first...the fun stuff like clothes...Keep up the hard work! :thumbup: ttys!
