Thought I would say hello! Today is my 2week post op date and I've lost 16lb! 16 lbs was previously impossible and I'm feeling great! I knew I had lost but I've been choked up with joyful tears today about how possible it is I can do this!!

@colorado chick..good luck today!!! Speedy recovery and prayers for u! It's all worth it! Thanks everyone for the encouragement!!!

Congratulations , keep up the great work !!!

Welcome to the group. Congrats I weight my self once a week sometimes twice a week like Friday then Monday again just incase I gain or lost but I'm just getting smaller & smaller.

Thanks for the input...I'll try weighing twice a week.

Have u had these little episodes where u totally feel bummed out about loss of the previous things? I dealt well with the family having pizza from my fav place and tonight I keep thinking I just want to go to the little yogurt place! It's fat free not sugar free and I know I prob couldn't manage more than 2 bites!!! I have just had this yogurt on the brain!!! Maybe I'm having some per Pms symptoms? I was supposed to start the day of my surgery (18 days ago) and I have yet to start. I think the wear & stress of the surgery prob threw me off a bit. Just bummed on a Sat night while the hubby and my kiddo are having grilled burgers and I'm even ok with that!!! I don't want ice cream I just want some yogurt!!!!!

Totally normal after any major surgery to feel emotional but we're also dealing with giving up an entire lifestyle. I just got back from a gathering and someone plopped an entire box of leftovers baked goods in my lap so I could take it home.I kinda freaked! Not wanting to explain to this semi - stranger I just accepted and will let the family have it. I would also get dome fat free sugar free frozen yogurt for yourself...you deserve it!

Hi!!! Yes I'm in Navarre!! That's awesome! Love this piece of paradise we have here!

I don't know if I'm off topic here (sorry) but I saw my pcp today and she said to be sure I bring bipap breathing machine to hospital. Did anybody have any problems waking up after surgery?? I'm so excited! Can't wait until I get my surgery date. Happy to see so many success stories. What a comfort knowing we are in this together!

It is HOT and humid today...ready to get this extra weight off so that I can actually go out and enjoy it. My daughter is at UWF in Pensacola and my step-son is stationed at Hurlbert in security forces, so we are over that way at least once a month.

How often did you weigh yourself? I don't want to get obsessive...or depressed if I don't see day to day change.

I'm guilty of weighing in every day. I don't care what people say about the whole once a week thing. Not weighing myself is how I got myself in trouble by denying that I was gaining. Weighing myself every day keeps me on track. If I gain a pound I force myself to work harder. I admit there are days I wish the scale would move but on the weeks it doesn't move at all I measure myself. I strongly encourage you to get a tape measure. The inches you loose will boost your morale on those time you don't loose weight. Oh and this is just works best for me .. You need to find what works best for you! Best of luck to you and us all!!!
