Rchavez101 0 Posted November 25, 2010 I weighed my self and it's been about 5 years since the scale has said 300lbs. It said 298.9lbs. I know that it fluctuates but just the idea that it was less then 300lbs. Since Oct 22 the begnning of my post op diet I have lost about 43lbs. This is great I can't believe how the weight has been coming off. I work in a clean room enviorment in the semiconductor industry and are required to wear a bunny suit/smock. The one I had a month ago is huge on me where before it was tight. I am so thrilled about this whole journey. I know there will be up and downs and I have had both so I must just move on and enjoy the ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many mls have you had in refills? blip2 Thanks for the comments everyone. To be honest with you the only thing I can give as a tip is keep your eye on the prize of being healthy and happy. I weighed 343 and now weigh 298.9 and would like to be at around 220. I have not had any fills yet. I had the surgery 3 weeks ago. Just stay focused and continue on.
