35 pounds!

[Beadingnurse 116]

I am officially 35 lbs down from what I weighed the day that I had my first surgeon's pre-op appointment and less than 2 months from my surgery date! I lost about 8 lbs during my 2 week pre-op diet so it is really just a bit over 2 months but I am thrilled. I expected to lose more slowly since I had less total pounds to lose but I am very happy with the pace. At this rate I will be to my goal long before my next birthday (March) which was my BIG goal. I have been promising myself on my birthday every year for years that this would be the year that I would lose 50 lbs. Know what? This year I am really doing it! Doing the happy dance today.....

How lucky are we to have access to this surgical procedure and the amazing amount of support available with this board?? Thanks everyone for answering my many questions before surgery and for being there for me when I had dozens more after the surgery! :thankyou:

Thanks Stacy...I see we were almost sleeve twins and you have also lost over 30 lbs so congratulations to us both! You are SO right that it is amazing how much difference it makes to lose even that relatively modest amount of weight. I am in awe of the folks who lose over 100 lbs and I can't even imagine how much that changes your life.

Congrats, BeadingNurse! You are doing amazing!

I am about where you are. I am 5 weeks out and halfway to goal. My birthday is also in March and I plan on being at goal by then, too. That would be a super awesome 49th birthday present! Wish I had done this years ago.
