I logged out and took a last look at the new topics in the screen-rght list. Seeing your "Yes I am thankful for any amount lost" drew me back in to say I hope you really are of such sound mind. It wouldn't be nice to tease about something like that.

All the best.

Why would I not be of sound mind? As with many people on here I wanted to share my joyous moment. I am still happy with my decision to have this surgery even though I have had some complications. I don't live a life of regrets. So I would be just as thankful for losing 20lbs as I would be for 50. I don't have a negative mentality.

@@forever changed,

Uh-oh, I was jesting with you. Nothing so sad as a jest fallen flat. It may be that you haven't been at BP long enough to see how often @@KristenLe's reference holds true.

Shalom.

I haven't been for very long. I have read several posts where people are just not happy with their progress. I truly do have the mentality that some is better than none. I expect stalls and possibly a few gains. I try to be realistic.

That's awesome! Congratulations!

And I agree - it's really nice to see someone with a positive outcome looking at it with positivity!

Congratulations on your weight loss! Fantastic attitude. I too was/am shocked most of the time. When I try on clothes, feel more comfortable in daily life and have more energy. The scale is actually going down for a change and it stays down. I have stalls, but I also notice that I loose inches during those stalls. An AMAZING tool. Finally, something that actually works! And I do enjoy food just as much as I did before. Just low carb, which (shockingly) hasn't been an issue. Truly a miracle! Stick with your eating plan and I think you will enjoy the ride :)

      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.
