Weigh In for Week & LBL report

I see there wasn't an official weigh in. I had one of my best week's wt. losses yet, so thought I'd post. Surgery wt. - 337 lbs. Last week's wt. - 184 lbs. This week's wt. - 173 lbs. Wt. lost this week - 11 lbs. Wt. lost since surgery - 164 lbs. I guess I won't ever lose this much again...kinda helped having 16 lbs. cut off. Swelling from lbl is hell right now, pain fine. Drains are a pain in the butt, but not terrible. Should get at least 2 of 4 removed tomorrow morning at dr. visit in Houston. The swelling is so bad...I look as big as before, just no giant rolls....it's a flatter big! First few days I could see more what I'll look like and liked it...now I sure can't tell. Hopefully in another week, the worst of the swelling will be over so I can breathe again. Hard to eat...drinking protein and eating a little at a time. I'm getting sick of sitting around...hard to get comfortable. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Karla

Karla it is good to see you posting. I am so happy for you. What a great week of weightloss and I am sure once the swelling goes down it will be even more. Congrats and feel better.... Hugs, Chris

Hi Karla Good to hear from you and glad to hear that you're doing so well. From what I hear the swelling is what everyone complains about. I think you'll be much more comfortable once they remove those drains. Just follow doctor's orders and take it easy for awhile. I'm sure you'll be back to the hustle and bustle of Life with Karla in along time. Sending hugs, Ronna

Karla, Good to see you posting again. How awesome that you lost 11 lbs. Once your swelling goes down and the drains are gone you are going to feel so much better. Those drains are the worst. Hang in there and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ~Norma~

Umm, trying to remember all my stats!!! Highest wt 294 Surgery wt 237 Lowest weight 138 (okay actually 130 but that's when I was super sick with my gallbladder, so I don't think that counts!
