I "ONLY" lost four pounds

This is pretty sad. Shows how much my life has changed since WLS. Following the cancer surgery, things went a little wonky in my system. Over three weeks I lost 26 pounds. It worked out like this. 9 pounds one week, 9 pounds the next week, and 8 pounds the next. Insane amounts this far out from surgery. So last week, I "only" lost 5 pounds. The doc said that was better, but he'd be happier with 4. So this week, I "only" lost 4 pounds. Only lost 4 pounds. Who would have thunk I could ever lose 4 pounds in a week! Now I don't want to loose more than that 4 pounds. This post WLS world is all topsy turvy. On a side note. A friend has been teasing me about how I'm soon gonna weigh less than him. He weighed in this weekend at 274. He's been floating between 273-275 for a couple of months. He hates weighing that much, but can't seem to loose the pounds. Today, I weighed in at 276. I just can't seem to catch him. Maybe it'll motivate him to loose a few to keep out in front of me.

Michael, Isn't it funny how we now complain when we lose less than 3 or 4 pounds a week....just a year ago I would have killed to lose 1 pound a week...and now we complain! Ironic! Surgery has been a great thing in more than one way! ~~em

Only need a few pounds to catch him- I bet you pass him fast and furious. In two weeks it will be like an old memory. Seems like yesterday you were trying to get to the 200's and you've broken that by 24 lbs. Remember when loosing 24 #'s was hugh..... donna

I remember the early post op days of saying I "only" lost 5lbs this week but now I would kill to lose 4 or 5lbs in a week....last month I only lost 5 the entire month and this month is not looking a lot better. But I am trying. Keep it up, that is awesome!
