orionburn 1,024 Posted February 14, 2017 Celebrating my first mini victory. Stepped on the scale this morning and finally broke out of the threes. Weighed in at 299.6. Haven't been under 300 in at least 5 years. My weight has always been a roller coaster but when I crossed back over 300 years ago it was really depressing for me. When I first started this journey in May 2016 I climbed back up to 354 lbs. I'm only 3 weeks post-op as of tomorrow, and despite having a bumpy journey the first two weeks I'm so thrilled to see the progress. I've lost 18 lbs since surgery and a total of 36 lbs since starting the two week pre-op diet. I'll take a 36 lb loss in 5 weeks! Long way to go yet but excited for the rest of the journey! 9 Monie717, missarae, mlbdl and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orionburn 1,024 Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks! It's been a rough ride at times but today was one of those days where it felt like it's all been worth it. This is my first of hopefully many more milestones to reach 2 ProudGrammy and PatientEleventyBillion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
