weight loss so far...

hi everyone.  It's been 9 days since my surgery....i've lost 15 lbs!  the week before surgery i lost 3 lbs.  So when someone asks how much i've lost do I say 18 or 15?
lol silly question i know...but just wondered do you count that?

thanks!!
Donna

Donna

You have lost 18!!!!  We add every pound we have lost pre and post surgery.  I am thrilled for you!!!!

You see?  We're never too old or too smart to learn something!  LOL  I haven't been counting my weight loss before surgery but it makes perfect sense to do so since a pound lost is a pound lost...no matter HOW you lose it right?  I have lost 136 pounds since my surgery a year ago but lost 12 pounds before surgery...so that's 148 pounds total weight loss!  WOW!  Now I'm having a WOW moment!  Thanks Donna!  I've lost a whole person!  I'm half the woman I used to be....well, on the outside anyways!  LOL  By the way, I'm Vicky.  I used to post alot but mostly I lurk now due to time constraints.  Welcome to the board and keep posting!  There is a wealth of knowledge here and ALOT of nice folks!

I lost almost 200 overnight a few weeks ago. yes, Connie and i broke up. I hear that happens a lot when someone loses a lot of weight. Isn't that true Vickie? anyway, besides the almost 200lbs weight loss from that, i have also lost 85lbs since Feb. but i have had a rough go at it.  it has been hell and when you are in a relationship with someone who gives little regard to the pain you are going it makes the weight loss seem like a big mistake instead of a wonderful thing. but i guess this is for another topic.  good job with your weight loss.
