Yeah!

Finally, I was really starting to freak out because I hadn't lost but was gaining weight since they started packing my incision. I lost 2lbs finally! I'm going to do a happy dance!

I know that I was getting smaller via the measuring tape but it sure lets you breathe easier when you see it on the scale! Hope everyone is doing great!

It will definitely come off!! You are doing so great! I never did do my measurements, I should probably do that.

My doctor said if you aren't well your body goes into an emergency mode and it keep you from loosing weight. Also your body will hold water.

I only lost 3 pounds in three week after I had complications. I have been doing well these past 6 days and every day I improved. But the best thing is I started loosing weight again. I am not sure how much because I made my husband put my scale in his trun****pt weighing myself and would get discouraged.

I am happy to say I almost feel like my old self. I can't seem to fall asleep for naps and by 7:30 or 8:00 pm I am so tired I looked drugged.

More great news; since the leakage from my belly button stopped I have been walking 30 minutes in the morning. I was out at 7 am this morning. The mornings are fantastic because it is still cool out and all the birds are singing. I don't tolerate heat well because of some meds.

I am really happy for you and for me too. I understand not loosing weight when everyone else is loosing tons.

Thank you both for the encouragement. Measuring yourself is the greatest. You really notice it that way.

I am very excited to be going through this journey. It's tough but I have almost all my vegetable plants in the dirt. The sun actually came out for a few hours today.

I just have to put in here that I went to see 'Prince of Persia' and so wanted popcorn. I almost asked a total stranger if I could have just one piece! Still no cravings for soda so I'm doing good there. Soda was my addiction before surgery. I won't even try diet since it's the quickest way to stretch your stomach out!

Take care and lets all keep up the goodwork!
