9 days post op weigh in!

I really shouldn't share - I know for some people it just brings out the comparisons but I'm soooo excited so I'm gonna tell you! According to my scale - I'm down a total of 15lbs since surgery, which is great, because on day 4 - I was up, 2.5 from fluids still! Yahoo!! That's 26 down from my highest. I'm so excited! Now, THAT's motivation to stay on my diet and be getting in my fluids and protein. TONS of motivation!

That is great! Keep walking and sipping! Robin

Congrats on your success so far!!! Just remember not to be a slave to the scale - go by how you feel, how you look and how your clothes are falling off as well!!! Dont want to rely on just the scale for motivation - take some measurements as well - sometimes when the scale doesnt move our body is still shrinking. Keep up the good work!

Tin, congrats! that is a great start. keep up the good work! teri

Thank you guys!! Actually - I've only weighed myself three times thus far. I really, really want to weigh more often, but won't. I'm going to get myself into a once a week or maaaaaybeeee twice a week routine. Thanks for sharing in my joy!! Tin k

OMG! Tin that is so wonderful hon! you are well on your way! better and better each day! whoooo hoooo!!!!! you go gurl!!! glad to see that you are back with us! I will try to give you a call soon,DH took one of his weeks vacations and we are running day trips to all the parks,fun fun fun!!!! well sorta....we went to Camel Beach Water Park yesterday and no fun today I am so sun burned I can't stand it I look like a freakin tomato!! OUCH!!!!!! and yeah I did use a sunscreen often,that is how bad the sun anymore...oh well, off to Dorney Park on Thurday and Hershey Park on Friday. be in touch soon as I can! Nancy

That's awesome!! Keep up the good work!

WOW -HOW NEAT. I had my surgery on June 8, 2006...I was a slave to the scale, but am really trying not to be. I am walking out of my clothes and that is what I should look at, right. I am so happy for you and wish you continued success.

Thanks again everyone! Nancy, you go girl! I bet a year ago all those parks would have been daunting, but over 40lbs down and I bet you have as much energy as your daughter!! Have a ton of fun, okay?? I'm still sip, sip, sipping, and no where near a scale - I'm of course dying of curiosity, but it will wait until a shopping trip one of these days. It's going to be harder once I'm back home, where I have a scale right in the bathroom, but my Dh has already been threatening to hide it, if I can't just do a once a week. Once a week isn't bad- I THINK I can handle that! Luck to everyone else on their journeys today!! Tin k

That's great Tin! Way to go!
