Hi Shelley! Thanks for taking a minute to stop in and visit our August board! I agree that the weekly weigh-in is a great idea. It gives perspective to what seems like a disappointing and/or slow loss. I think in looking at how far out most of us are (I had my surgery August 2nd) we've ALL done great! It's great to see the weight steadily coming off, even if it's slower than most of us would like. What encourages me is that it's a steady LOSS. On any other diet I've ever tried it was up and down and up and down. With WLS it's a steady loss with no gain. I had some problems with a restricted esophagus and was unable to eat much for several weeks. I was at a stall for three full weeks. I didn't allow myself to get discouraged because I know this is a process and a much more successful process than any diet out there. It's great to see the wonderful results of everyone losing! God bless you all!! Brenda

Hi Shelley et al: Here are my stats and I'm darned proud of them Surgery date: Sept 13 Highest Weight July07: 286 lbs Weight on Surgery Day: 278 lbs Thursday 10/18: 245 lbs Total Weight Loss since July07: 41 lbs and BMI is now below 40 -- yahoo! Sounds like everyone is doing very well! Keep it up you losers!!! See you next week! ~ Kim

Hi! Surgery 9-17 9/12 pre op weight 236.9 10/15 4 week weight 215.1 weight loss = 21.8 pounds I was hoping the scale would go down a little faster. The weights I have listed were my surgeons scale my home scale is about 4 pounds different so I kind of measure the drops in pounds on the weeks I am not using the dr's scale. Kind of gets confusing dr scale versus home scale Gloria
