And what did I see:cool: the scale moved from 274 (weight date of surgery) to 255 (yesterday) :( I dont know if I was seeing stuff or of the scale was off I got on and off the scale 3 times. And I wanted to cry and jump but my tummy wouldnt let me.:think I was speechless I got a calculator to do the math and 255 from 274= 19lbs gone ?????? :D Is that normal am i losing to fast????? Maybe I'm trippin real hard but I cant believe it It hasnt been a good 2 weeks yet. I dont know what to say my face looks very different my neck seems longer my arms are smaller, my 44 G's are shrinking..and oh yeah my 20's are very loose Maybe that 19pounds was all Water and Air from the surgery. :nervous :nervous :nervous
