I'm 5 days post op and I'm a total of 11 pounds down. I know its probably all water weight since I went from eating to now all liquids. Even changed batteries in my scale because I didnt believe it.

Congratulations Time!

that is awesome!! It is going to keep going down so believe it!!!

That's 11 pounds you won't see again! Embrace each victory no matter how big or small!

Thanks everyone. Is this really gonna happen every morning?

Time, the first few months we lose weight so fast that it's scary. It will slow down after a couple of months, but just stick to the plan. Get your protein, water and vitamins in so that you lose fat and not muscle and start an exercise program as soon as you can. You're going to be thrilled with this ride!

Congratulations. It's such a wonderful feeling isn't it?

Its a surreal feeling.

congrats! I'm a little bummed. I am 5 days po and I am still 2 pounds UP!

Congrats!! Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! It only gets better from here. You will be so successful at your weight loss.

Even changed batteries in my scale because I didnt believe it.

hey time4menow - "changed the batteries in my scale, too funny"

I guess some people might change the batteries if they are NOT losing weight, but you changed the bateries cuz you are losing weight.

Oh well, thats ok too. And BTW maybe at first it is Water weight loss, but we'll take it any way we can

continue doing what you are doing

Hey time for me now. I am 8 days post op and I haven't weighed myself yet. I hope I'm as successful as you. Congrats. I'm waiting for my post op appt.

Hey Guys,

Let's not diminish half of a pound or a quarter of an inch we've lost!!! We have made a decision to embark upon a lifelong journey to health and wellness!!! So, each step, each pound, each inch is important enough to Celebrate...

Even if you gained... you were given fluids in the hospital, you had trauma to your cells, ... I could go on... but I'll stop!! LOL

Congratulation!! And celebrate your successes!!!

water weight is real weight...i dont like to hear folks say its only "water weight" if ur carrying it around its not good
