Question of the Day

Since no one else has come up with one, here's mine: When you measure your number of pounds lost, do you count from surgery, your first consultation, your highest weight, or some other point?

My own answer: I started out counting from my pre-op weight, then decided I deserved to count my progress on the pre-op diet. Now I'm thinking I may start counting from my personal high, since that would get me to within 5 pounds of the century mark!

Happy Mothers Day to all of the December mothers! Deb

I use what I weighed at my surgeon's office the week before my surgery. I was up a few pounds before that, but not enough to quibble about. Donna P.S. - GREAT new picture, Deb!
