New to board! Down 40 pounds in 7 weeks.

I stumbled across this board today and I think it is great that we can chat with others that are going through what we are. I thought I was the only one that was "losing slow". Come to find out, we are all losing at about the same pace. I am 5' 7" and started off at 276. Today was 7 weeks post op and I weighed 236. I go up and down from 236 to 240. Or atleast I have been doing so for the past few days.

Hi Sherry Welcome.....Congradultations on the awesome weight loss. Debbie

Great job! I find that my weight goes up/down as much as 2 pounds ina day! I find that if I consistantly weigh myself the same time of day, the weight stays the same or drop. Samantha

Welcome!! We are almost twins! I am 5'7" and started at 276. My surgery was one day before you. Yesterday I was at 234. It sure is nice to know that I am on track. Initially I weighed everyday but now I try to keep it down to twice a week. I think I need to move the scale to the basement. That way if I think I need to weigh in I get the exercise of going downstairs! Lynne

HA! If I did that I know I would be down quite a few pounds. By the way Lynne, welcome to the board. Keep me updated on your progress. I love that we have so mu*****ommon!
