Wayward Traveler 135 Posted July 11, 2016 Today was a good day. I passed the 38 pound mark since my procedure. But more importantly, I passed the 100 pound mark since my all time high. I couldn't be happier! :-) Furthermore, while I am pretty good at getting regular exercise in, I struggle to get in over 10,000 steps a day. But today I did it for the first time in I don't know how long! In fact, I am almost at 12,000 now, and I have not even had a pedometer on all day!! :-D Yup ... it's been a good day. I've got about 2.5 months to go. Surely I can break 40 pounds, and maybe even 50, by then?!? So many people say that they stop losing after three months so I don't want to get my hopes up, but ... We shall see - fingers crossed. But even if I don't lose another pound, I would say that it's been a fruitful journey and time/money well spent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hot 3 months ago couple of weeks ago and still losing, but I haven't heard this and it scares me!

Wayward Traveler 135 Posted July 12, 2016 @@GSleeve822 - I've heard several people say that. But I've also heard people lose throughout (50+ and even 77 pounds!), and I've heard people say that they've lost nothing at all. So take it with a grain of salt - everyone's experiences are different. If what you're doing is working for you, then keep it up and don't worry what some others have said ... that's really all we can do. :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
