Four months post-op

[melaniesuzanne]

My four month surge-versary was Monday and things are going pretty swimmingly. I've been in a stall for a few weeks now, but my surgeon doesn't want me worry about it. In fact, when I said that I should hide the scale, he said I should throw it out the window. I panicked that I've lost my 60% of weight (which is the average for gastric bypass), but

1. you really have a lot of clothes :)
2. Congratulations!!!!!
3. I think its wonderful that your biking and videos can help you maintain and tone - that it helps match your effort with your weight loss.

Thank you! I'm down 66 pounds and my surgeon thinks I can easily lose another 40, if not more. That blows my mind. :)

I'm counting on the biking (and running if I ever try that again) helping me maintain. I got the videos during my Jenny Craig days and am trying to firm up some of the sagginess which is beginning to bug me. I knew it was coming, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! ;)

Wow. I really need to show up with a couple of empty laundry baskets and just loot your house! How soon do you want this all gone? I might be able to get there tomorrow (Thursday) after work...

Heehee! I haven't put out an official call on Facebook yet for the 10th, so there's time for you to get right of first refusal. :)

If you want to come over tomorrow evening, please do. I plan to work from home, so any time is great.

Your shoes aren't fitting? wow.

[melaniesuzanne]

Yeah. My feet aren't as puffy anymore and I've been walking about of my flats or slopping around in more closed shoes.
