Down to 358 (supposedly)

Hey there and howdy doo. I am down to 358 lbs. I say supposedly cuz I have a scale at home, at the gym and that weird electronic dookamajigger at the surgeon's office. I weigh 357-ish at home, 358 at the surgeon, at the gym, I weigh 370 one day, 400 the next. So I just sort of look at the needle on the scale to give me an idea of lbs down, not actual weight. Because I don't trust any of them thar scales anymore. That said, I'm down 46 lbs since surgery, 53 since going to the surgeon for the first time. I'm 6 weeks out and I'm pretty happy with all of that. I got a B12 shot in my arm and it didn't hurt at all, so I'm really psyched about that (since I have to get them monthly). Well, seizure later.

hey there derrick! we are almost WLS twins! i had my LAP RNY on 3/22 and i am down to 355 from 391! down 36lbs! good going on your 46. DARN MEN! LOL! congrats and keep plugging away! julie

Derrick, Congrats...I have finally gotten below 200..which is my first goal. I am down to 198 which is 34 lbs total...and 31 in 6 wks. My surgery was 3/22 as well...and the hardest thing I have is the exercise. I have changed jobs so now I can exercise more. I like you have different scales and I hate the dr's office scales, I like mine at home better. They are brand new and I trust it more. Besides when I weigh at home...it is a true weight...if you know what I mean. Can't weigh like that at the dr office. Clothes weigh about 5 lbs....lol. D'Lynn 232/229/198

Congratulations on your great weight loss, Derrick! What a super beginning! Aren't B12 shots awesome! I finally got a prescription at about seven months, so now I don't have to go the the doctor's office for it. I give myself the shot in the leg, and it still doesn't hurt. Blessings to you, Becky
