Month 15 Weigh In

health, weight loss surgery 1 Minute

Today is the 4th of August. 15 months ago today I went under the knife and had my guts rearranged forever. It’s been a crazy 1.25 years, let me tell you.

The monthiversary is my weigh in day now. After a year of weeklies I cut back to just monthlies and today is the day. How did I do?

I did well, I think. I can say definitively that I am still maintaining. My weight is down quite a bit from last month but it is still above the lowest point. Last month I was at 213. Today I am at 207.4. I am down 5.6 pounds this month for a post-op total of 224, and a since-the-first-weigh-in total of 244.6 pounds. Glorious. My BMI is 25.2, which means that I am technically still overweight, but only by a couple of pounds. I can live with that.

I had given up on my vague goal of dropping below 200 pounds and reaching the mythical “onederland.” When I was over 210 last month it seemed like something that was unobtainable. Now? Today? Seven and four tenths pounds doesn’t seem like that much to lose, does it? Not really. If I dipped below 200 I think I would still be able to consider myself maintaining. It’s only four pounds and change below my lowest point.

Naw, let’s just stay the course and not be tempted by magic numbers. Until next months, friends. Happy weigh in day.

  2. Congratulations, that’s awesome you’re still on a path to losing or maintaining.

    I recently increased 35lb (during Covid and after, as I had a daughter in 2021). I’ve just got back down 25lb and maintaining roughly, but I’m still wary of putting weight back on. I need to lose another 15-20lb to be back in the realm of the 25s on BMI, though. I have much respect for you.

  4. Congratulations! You’ve put in the hard work after surgery. My life has had its share of ups and downs in weight. I’m short – I always lead with that – so 10-15 pounds for me is a good sized increase in weight.
