Some months you will lose faster then others. im sure you can already see yourself shrinking. I hit the 100 pound mark today and its been 6 months since surgery, so your in line with me. Dont get discouraged. It WILL come off. And even if its a little slower then others...so what? Whats a few extra months in the grand scheme of things? Peace, love and thinness.... 45 pounds is about where I was at 2 1/2 months.

And I think 45lbs is GREAT.... what would you have lost in 2 months withOUT the surgery???? So pat yourself on the back... and be HAPPY... because you are on the downward trend! Believe me, in a few months you will be looking back and saying WOW... I have come so far. Another thing... although we ALL like to see those numbers on the scale come down and stay down... try concentrating on noticing how different you feel. I notice how much easier it is for me ot walk... how I have successfully put off TWO surgeries because I have lost weight... and my favorite... <!--more--> the expressions on peoples faces when they realize it is me and they didn't recognize me! It just happened again with a friend at the airport... I had seen him 3 months ago, so he has seen me with 100 pounds gone... but I was waving at him and WAVING at him.. and he was standing there listening to this lady on the phone saying "I am not sure where she is I am standing out in front..." and he was thinking.."you big dummy she is standing right there WAVING at you" only for him to finally realize it was me when my children ran up to him LMAO... it was too funny... and he is my BEST friend!!!!<br>Good luck... it will all come in time!<br>Cindy<br>Open RNY 8/2/00<br>preop 298<br>current 183 Hi there,<br>I am not sure who set you up to
