So I woke up this morning, and stepped on the scale and it said I was down 18 pounds. I didn't believe it and had to step off and step on again! 18 pounds in 8 days! That is crazy right? So of course I went to my closet and found my size 18 jeans and they fit!!! I feel like I am living in a dreamworld. I'm not hungry at all, have no pain and except for a little tired feeling, am doing great! These boards have been a lifesaver as far as learning what to expect and how to eat post op! So these 18 pounds are yours also!!! Thanks to you all and I cant wait for next weeks numbers!

Keep pinching yourself...it's not a dream! Congrats!

CONGRATS! That's great to loose 18 lbs! Keep rockin that sleeve! I love the size drop!

Hello!!! Rock it, you totally deserve to. I'm super duper happy for you!!!

Yay! Good for you - can't wait till I'm there.

Hi there!!! That's awesome!! 18 lbs! I'm just about 17lbs now. Its amazing isn't it?? And we were both really nervous!!

Wow I am sooooo excited for you!!! I am so happy that you are back home now and feeling better! I am just a few days behind you (day 5 post op) but I haven't weighed yet to see the results. I am trying to wait until the one week mark! I so hope I can report results like yours!

Lacie - I agree. These boards were my lifeline too for that first year and people on here are such great inspirations. You earned that loss and it is your efforts that shed those pounds.

Cheering you on to many more achievements and mini goals. Celebrate each one.

I love my sleeve!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Congrats!! is that 17 lbs total or from your surgery date? I'm only down 8 lbs from my surgery date and that was a day after yours.

THANKS so much EVERYONE!!! It is 18 pounds from surgery date. I was one of those that failed the pre-op diet miserably. I had a food funeral even though I was told not to and gained back all my pre-op weight I lost days before I went in. I was terrible...and I regret it. It was my food addiction playing games with my head and I invited it right in.

I'm on the right path now. I have yet to even be hungry...it's a really odd feeling. LOL

For me I had a dehydration issue and have been on Lassix for edema...I think that helps with the high weight loss number (extra Water retained)...but I will take it however it comes.

Way to go Lacie! I'm almost ready to go to size 16. Isn't this the best??
