When I made the mistake of getting on the scale in Mexicali I was up about three pounds after surgery. I'm a little confused about my scale: my scale thinks I'm a lot thinner than I apparently am by something like fifteen pounds, which is always comforting except, you know, when you step on somebody else's scale and feel like your reality has been stabbed with a dull knife. However, I think I finally lost a little weight. Maybe ten pounds?

Hooray!

Congrats!! Isn't it fun when you see the scale move for the first time in like almost forever?? Bet you're thrilled

yay!! doesn't it feel amazing....Tonight was the first time i was able to step on the scale and see a loss....7lbs...all this trauma is finally starting to feel worth it! Great Job and congrats to you!!!

I wondered when you would mention the numbers! Congratulations!

Thanks all . Hey Serna, we had the same sleeve date!

Congrats to both of you!! I was a little surprised when I got home from the hospital and had put on 4 lbs. But I forgot about the swelling and fluids they were pushing in me. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and have lost 21 lbs since coming home from the hospital.

Can I just say that I think I am finally figuring out this "when to stop eating" thing. Thanks everyone for all the knowledge and advice, and also your questions.

Congrats!!! I was wondering how you were doing post op. I am very glad to see you back on the boards.
