Well, this morning was my second official weigh-in since surgery on July 15th. I've decided that the only tradition I'm carrying over from my dieting days is weighing in on Friday mornings. I'm down 21 lbs. total for this here wild ride (pre-op liquid loss included) and that means that I'm officially under the 200 lbs. to lose mark - "only" 198 left to go!!! I have a feeling I may end up being a slower loser, but I'm ok with that just as long as it comes off eventually.

Happy Friday/weekend to you all!!

Congrats! Next stop Twoderville!

I hear you on being a slower loser. I still have a hundred pounds to go and I lost 6 pounds in July and 4 pounds in June.. That makes me a SLOW LOSER... Even if I lose only FIVE POUNDS a month from here on out, I will weigh 210 pounds on my one year surgiversary and 180 pounds by the 18 month mark. The beautiful thing about being sleeved is I don't feel like I'm being tortured. I don't MIND watching my calories or resisting Snacks because I'm satisfied with what I CAN eat. Because I don't feel like I'm being tortured, I don't mind that it might take a little longer than other people. Sure, I'd like to lose faster,who wouldn't?... but it's not the end of the world if I don't!

I'm with ya, Serendipity. I was just saying to my fiance yesterday that I'm not really bothered by not being able to eat a lot, because I'm enjoying what I can eat and knowing that the weight will come off (however slowly ) as long as I keep doing what I need to. Keep up your great work - you are an inspiration!!
