Just for fun: ENJOY!
I thought I'd throw something a little less serious out there for everyone.
At the Floch Associates support group last night, someone had mentioned their weight loss in terms of having lost weight equivalent to that of a small child. I poked around on the internet, and here's what I've come up with.
How do you compare? Since my surgery, I've lost a watermelon.

I've lost 44 lbs. (wow a five gallon bottle of water) Makes me feel better. If anyone has ever been to Health Extenders Sue has a rubber 5lbs. of fat (which looks so real) It's really nasty to hold and it is the actual weight of 5 lbs. I'm stuck now and need a fill but unfortunately I don't have the money right now to just spend 200.00. I saw Dr. Erhlich today and he said most people have 4 fills. The one thing I wish I knew ahead of time was the cost of fills. I would have saved the cash. But, honestly I wish I would have known. It was a shock to me when I read the info on fills(maybe it was mentioned and I had my blinders on) and had to sign the fill form at one of my office visits that I understood the insurance wouldn't pay after 90 days. I'm unemployed and my husband just got a job so hopefully next month I can afford it.
The good news is that I didn't gain any weight over the holidays, Yeah.
