ReadyNewM3 112 Posted October 18, 2013 I'm so happy !!!! Well, the whole process isn't easy but...its possible for everyone! I had my surgery on 9/18, I was alone in the hospital for 3 days, but I was ok! I think I have a good and decent recovery, I learned, and still do it, a lot in this forum, a lot.... Now, after almost 2 weeks stall, I continue losing pounds, slow...but I continue my journey, and my new life. No depresion, no anxiety and I really feel positive in my new healthy life! No more Metformin! I lost 19 pounds, maybe not too much as others, but I feel so good ! Any other stats for one month?

Carlotta 57 Posted October 18, 2013 Remember your surgery weight is lower than most who post on the wls board.. So you should not expect your body to lose as fast as others. Sometimes slow and sure wins the race. One good suggestion...only weigh at dr office or once a month. 1 ReadyNewM3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PokeyJo 47 Posted October 18, 2013 Congrats! So happy that you're feeling good! Today is one month out for me too! I'm down a total of 35lbs... 17 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet and 18 lbs since surgery. Next week I go for my 1 month check up. I'm hoping to get cleared to start working out. Ready to get more weight gone! I have been completely off Metformin and injected insulin since two days before surgery. I'll get re-evaluated at 6 months to see if I need to be on anything. My numbers during the day have been very good and are still coming down. It's very exciting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
