need some reassurance...

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE DISCOURAGE AT A 40 + # LOSS ... DON'T BE! I'VE LOST 57, BUT 11 OF THOSE #s WERE THE FLUIDS I RETAINED FROM THE HOSPITAL. IT TOOK ME A DAY & A HALF TO RETAIN THEM & 7 WHOLE DAYS TO LOSE THAT FLUID, SO I COUNT THAT AS WEIGHT LOST SINCE WLS. BUT, IF YOU TOOK THOSE 11 #s AWAY, I'D BE SITTING AT 46 #s ... JUST THINK ... THOSE #s WILL N-E-V-E-R COME BACK & THAT'S WHAT MATTERS! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
