High 312 Surgery 295 Today 214 Total loss: 98 Since surgery: 81 I've been bouncing back and forth on my weight. I need to get back to my good eating, drinking schedule. Happy New Year Heidi

Sum total of my holiday madness: in the past two weeks of holiday parties I allowed myself a 2 inch cookie, a half cup of Chex Mix, 3 ounces of wasabi almonds, a slice of a Mrs. Prindable's apple, and a couple of triscuits with meat and cheese. A year ago, I'd have had all that on a typical day before I even opened my eyes, so I am not sweating it! And tonight, Italian food. Tomorrow, like every other American, back on the chain gang! I gained a bunch of weight from IV fluids two weeks back-- but here's the stats today: Consult: 368 Date of Surgery (7/16): 300 Today: 231.6 Total Loss: 136.4 pounds Loss since surgery: 67.4 pounds I've now lost the same amount post-op as I did pre-op-- but it took two weeks longer!

Hey, Charity! Thanks for your kind words! It's hard not to freak out over a few pounds! Just worried that if I don't get back on track, I'll gain it all back, like I've done so many times before. Happy to see that you are doing so well...89lbs! WOW! Happy New Year to you, too! Jean

Thanks... We are all doing such an awesome job... it is exciting to take a look at how far we have come in such a short time. HUGS and HAPPY NEW YEARS Susan
