Today's official 1 month weigh in

[joshsmommy]

And I'm nervous. I'm part of a study, so while I've been visiting with the nurse every week, they wait until the 1 month mark to weigh and do measurements. And for the life of me, I can't remember exactly what I weighed on my home scale before I had the procedure, so I haven't been able to keep an accurate track of my progress at home. But I have a guess...thinking about 10-12 pounds so far. No clue on the measurements, but I was able to take my pants off yesterday without unbuttoning. I'll take that as a good sign!

So...off the the nurse this afternoon and I'll post with the results tomorrow. Wish me luck!

12 pounds, as expected. Again, I'm not overly thrilled with that number. Honestly, for all the sickness in the first week, liquid diet before and after the procedure and reduced comsumption now, I would think I'd be a size 2 by now. Maybe not that skinny, but I was hoping for a loss of 20 or so pounds.

Now, if I could lose 12 pounds a month from here forward, I would be thrilled. But I know it's going to slow down from here. Everything I've read says the greatest loss occurs in the 1st 2 months. If I do all of this to lose 25-30 pounds, I'm going to be pissed.

They didn't do any other measurements, so I don't know what progress, if any, I made there.

How's everyone else getting along?
