6 weeks post-op and down over 30lbs which I was a little bummed about since I thought I would have lost more weight.... but then I tried on my "skinny" jeans and they were loose! I have to keep reminding myself that not all weight is fat. Being more acive means there's new muscles developing too. Throwing those jeans into the Plato's Closet pile of clothing made me do a happy dance!

Eliminate the word only from you vocabulary. I only lost 30lbs becomes I lost 30lbs.

Add an exclamation mark and a pinch of enthusiasm. Mix well, and serve warm:

Hey everybody, look at me go! I lost 30lbs!

:)

Be well…

That's a good way to look at it. I get frustrated that my weight loss is slower than my friend. Using your suggestion, I'm halfway to my goal!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
