I have lost much ?

I am counting from my surgery date which was NOT my heaviest..but only 4 lbs lighter than my heaviest. Anyway, as of today I am down 45lbs from surgery day!

WOW thats awesome about being down 45lbs!! YOU GO GIRL!!! Thanks for the reply! *huggles* Felicia =)

Hi Felicia... I hadn't even thought about how to count it. LOL I've always counted from the day of surgery, which is also how my surgeon counts. But, as my highest was only 5 pounds more it doesn't make a huge difference to me. Of course, when I think about it, there IS a difference between 44 pounds and 49 - mentally, that is. Congrats on how well you are doing on your journey!!! Susan

I count from my 1st appt w/ my surgeon. 389...thats the highest high I have ever hit and I WILL NEVER HIT THAT# AGAIN!!! From that point to here I have lost 43lbs. If I counted from surgery day it would be 30 lbs. But I lost the full 43 lbs. it doesnt matter that the 1st 13 was on my own without the aid of my new weight loss tool. I have worked hard to lose all 43 lbs and darned if I wont claim every last pound of it!!!

I was 382 at my first surgeons appointment. I wish that had been my highest *sigh*. But I so agree that it is WONDERFUL to know that we will NEVER EVER see those numbers EVER again!! Amen to everything you said lol. We did work hard for every single 1lb movement on that darn scale and we should be able to count them!! Thanks for the reply! *huggles* Felicia =)

Isn't it funny how mentally -5lbs means so much!! You are doing so amazing with your weight loss!! Keep up the great work!! Thanks for the reply!! *huggles* Felicia =)

I count from my highest weight which was when I had my pre-op physical. When I saw my surgeon just prior to my day, I weighed less. So I guess I count from my highest weight. I started at 252. I had a school nurse weigh me yesterday on one of the school scales. We got 216. I was holding my breathe. I still want to be weighed on an accurate scale without any shoes. Got to get those extra ounces where we can. Aime

WOW 216!! Thats wonderful!!! YOU GO GIRL! I hear you about the extra ounces lmaooo. I have to weigh in the mornings before a certain time wearing a certain out fit. STUPID I know but still *grin*. Thanks for the reply! *huggles* Felicia =)

I lost some weight before surgery, but then re-gained. So, I always count from the morning of surgery. Lisa

When I went to my second surgeons first appointment I was 374 by the time I had to start my liquid diet ( 4 days later ) I had gain 4lbs in 4 days hahahaha But it still wasn't anywhere near my highest *sigh*. Thanks for the reply!! *huggles* Felicia =)
