Jessh4579 216 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Today is exactly one month since I had WLS. I don't normally weigh in mid week (I weigh in and do my measurements on Monday mornings) but since it has been a month since my surgery I weighed myself. I started my journey at my all time heaviest 280lbs. During the preop diet I lost 13lbs so on the morning of my surgery I was 267lbs. Today I weighed in at 240.2lbs. I am down 40lbs!!!!!! I'm finding my way through the new diet and feeling more confident by the day! Edited September 23, 2016 by Jessh4579 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Candidate 3,215 Posted September 23, 2016 Congrats! Those first months are wonderfully magical. You will have many more celebration days coming your way. WLS is for me, the closest thing out there to the fountain of youth. You expect to feel better, but you're completely overwhelmed by how it will positivity affect so many other aspects of your life: your mobility, stamina, confidence, belief in yourself and so many others. WLS isn't just a cold sterile procedure. It's your life 2.0 reboot and a second chance to get it right this time around. It's just going to get better and better!
