So, as I was being discharged Thursday, I asked the nurse if they weren't gonna weigh me? She said no because you retain the fluids they give you, and it may be depressing if you've gained. She gave me strict instructions not to weigh at home until my follow up next week with D. Houston.

              Do you think I listened?


                              NO!!

This chick apparently has never seen 330lbs on her scale, like I have! So you know the 1st thing I did when I got home besides pee was weigh right?

Highest weight 330
Day of surgery I was 313.5
Came home 4 days later and was 305
today I am 310.5

    WHY DOES MY SCALE ALWAYS ADD THE .5 ON THE END? AAARGH!!!

    TODAY I AM CELEBRATING MY 1ST 10 POUNDS LOST.

                          YEAH FOR ME!

       ONLY 4 MORE POUNDS AND I'LL BE UNDER 300.

YA'LL THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!! I COULD JUST CRY!!!

                              IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!

That's amazing since most people talk about GAINING 10 pounds the first few days. Be careful though and don't the let scale determine your mood for the day in the future when things start slowing down. (isn't it exciting?)

I knew I ws gonna lose, I just didn't expect to lose so fast. With diets it took me a month or 2 to lose 10 pounds and they would be back before I knew it. This time they will be gone forever. it's a strange new feeling.

You know, you have been and continue to be such an inspiration to me! I value everyone's advice on these post, but I always want to know what you will say. I am so proud for you!
I just got my call today from CIGNA that I was approved for my surgery. I couldn't wait to share!
I hope you are doing well since your surgery.
Thanks for all your help in the past and hopefully in the future.

Yeeah for you! Cigna was actually pretty quick getting my approval. My stuff was faxed at 8:30 am and I was approved and notified by 11:00 am same day. Unfortunately I had been through so much drama with switching surgeons and the SHBP fight, I was too emotionally drained to be truly excited.

I am glad they got you approved without any barriers. Please let me know if you want me to post your date on the surgey list.
