Good healthy loss of 2 pounds this week. Today marks exactly 5 months since surgery, and I’m super pleased with my progress so far. I don’t think that I’ll be one of those folks that makes it to my goal in less than a year, but I’m okay with that. I don’t care how long it takes me to get there so long as I get there.
In the past two months, I have lost roughly a third of my total…that blows my mind! 40 pounds down in 60 days…crazy, right? But it shows you what a gastric sleeve and disciplined behaviors combined with support groups and therapy can do to improve one’s health. One must also keep in mind that I started out much heavier than the average bear (close to 400 pounds with over 250 to lose), so if you are considering WLS and are what is considered a lightweight (100 pounds or less to lose), your weight loss may not be as dramatic. Every body responds differently to weight loss surgery and the subsequent aftercare plan. So as the diet companies’ commercials say, “results not typical.”
