I am really happy today. I am 4 months post op and down 47lbs. I am almost half way to my goal. I had not bought any clothes at all. But, it got to the point where although I was losing weight, I was getting frustrated because nothing fit. Then, I looked at it on the bright side. The clothes didn't fit because they were too big. Even my bras and underwear were big. I didn't know what size I was. Over the years as I gained my weight, I developed a dislike for shopping. Today I decided to get over ...

I had my 4 month checkup today. All seemed good still waiting on some labs. I met my first small goal. I wanted to be less than 240 lbs. when I went for my 4 month checkup. I weighed in at 236 lbs. I was very happy. I do think my weight loss is slower but I am happy with it. I would like it to come off tomorrow, but it took me years to get the way I was before surgery.
