It's Gonna Happen!

[Seraphina 60]

I'm so glad this is helping! I love your comments.

I honestly don't know if I had any stalls. I had read exhaustively about it before the surgery so this first 5 weeks or so after the surgery I never got on the scale. Not once. If I had done the weigh every single day thing (which is so like me when I'm "dieting") I bet I would have had many, many demoralizing days.

On another note, I was curious to see if losing 70 lbs in 7 months was relatively fast, slow, normal, whatever. I know of someone on this forum who had her surgery a week before me and her goal is to lose twice the amount I have. She is now half way to goal! In other words we lost at the very same rate with very different starting and ending points.

Don't sweat it my friends...just remember that the scale is STILL the evil little contraption it has always been.

Congrats to you all for doing something great for yourselves by getting your stomachs ripped out. We are total badasses!

Congratulations! I am 4 months out and on the road but I still have a ways to go. Your story is inspirational!
