I weighed myself this morning. I'm 8 days post op and I hadn't weighed myself. I weighed 238 the day I had surgery and this morning I weighed 228!! I was in shock and in tears.

there are more happy tears to come - congrats!

hey kiddo

remember, remember this

allll sleevers (et al) react differently to weight loss

how long it will take to loose

you will find people loose weight quicker than you

others loose weight slower than you throughout the day, weeks, months ahead

most people will have a few stalls throughout their loosing process

some people don't loose weight after surgery (Water retention, some stay the same weight, i've even heard some people might gain a few lbs

you've lost 10 lbs in 8 days

that' terrific

Really

get some kleenex

dry your pretty eyes

i didn't go to bed on december 11, 2011 - and wake up the next morning 105 lbs lighter

over the years i gained lots of weight - my highest weight - DOS was 235 lbs i'm only 5'3

some people loose that much weight quicker - others take longer

some people think they will wake up post up in a few days 100 lbs will be gone

doesn't work that way

took me many years to gain that weight

it took me almost a year to loose the weight with the "assistance" of the sleeve

some people will loose that weight quicker, others longer

"God Grant Me Patience but hurry up about it"

you'll have ups and downs over the next few months

Deal With It!!!

Get over it!!!

keep doing what you are doing

continue to follow ALL the rules

you are doing great!!!

Good for you! And that feeling will be repeated again and again over the next months!

Thank you ladies! I know this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey. I know there will be times where I'll be disappointed but I will just have to remember where I started. Good luck to all of you.

Isn't it great!? I'm also down quite a bit at about 10 days. Crazy. I'm only recording once a week though do I don't get discouraged with fluctuations. Good luck!

Yay! Enjoy your success!
