How many pounds to tell

Here's my dilemma...a good one, too! From the point of surgery, I've lost 43 pounds. Well, I had to go to my primary doctor today about my fractured tailbone which I cracked when getting on the water slide on my now fatless butt! LOL (These are the good days!) According to my doctor, I've lost 57 pounds!! Because he had my highest weight listed on his chart which was 11 pounds extra to my surgery date weight. So when people ask how much I've lost, I've been starting with my surgery date weight but most people don't know that I've had WLS. So I wouldn't be lying if I go back to my highest weight. What would you do? Get ready to say 60 pounds lost or be modest and say over 40? I think I'd rather say almost 60. When talking to a girlfriend about this today, she says I look more like I've lost 60 than 40. This day has been very motivating for me! Karel

Karel, With out a doubt...60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had to of lost all those pounds so take credit for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's great, keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carrie

I would also say 60 as that is what you have lost total. Hugs and congratulations, Theresa
