Almost 4 months out

Apr 16, 2015

I had a revision from a lap band to SIPS on 12/22/14. When I started my 10 day liquid diet on 12/11/14 my weight was 330 pounds. One the day of surgery I had gotten down to 315 pounds. When I went for my two week check up, my weight was 306 pounds. My doctor did tell me that my weight loss could be a little slower because I am a revision patient. So I refused to weigh myself until my next follow up appointment which was 3/8/15. 280 was my weight which means a weight loss of 50 pounds. I was a little discouraged because I thought I should have been losing more weight but I realized how long it would have taken me to lose 50 pounds before the SIPS procedure and then I got my mind right. Due to the fact that weighing myself everyday would be mind boggling, I decided not to weigh myself until my next appointment on 6/15/15. On Sunday I decided to buy an outfit for a wedding I am going to be attending this Saturday and I purchased a size 14/16 which is GREAT since the last pair of pants I purchased in November 2014 was a size 22. This journey is a lot different from my lap-band journey which I know is a good thing. I'm just trying to stay positive.
