2-weeks post-op, lost 25 pounds -- total = 100!

I am excited today . . . after a couple of days of the scale barely moving, and clearly waiting for the day AFTER support group, the scale dropped another 3 pounds. That means I am down 25 pounds since my surgery two weeks ago today! Add that to my 75 and I am now down 100 pounds from my high weight! Very exciting -- to me anyway ;)

Of course, I started super-sized so I still have a long way to go, and it would actually take 200 more pounds to get to "insurance weight" but I am not really aiming that low.

 That's awesome!!  Keep up the great work and congratulations on the 100 lb loss!!

That is so awesome! I know what you mean about "insurance weight" I have lost like 130 pounds and would still need to lose another 125 to get there.  NOT gonna happen.  Hope to see you Saturday!

wow! you did great with your pre op weight loss.

YEAH!!!!  That is awesome Bec.  Hope to see you Monday?  Or maybe at the support group at # Dogs Cafe in Rockport.  We are meeting there this Saturday at 10 am.  What is insurance weight?

I will try to make the meeting on Saturday . . . I have these nerves about being the fattest person in the building and walking around with an oxygen tank if I am totally compliant (which I usually am not!). I have been meaning to stop by for that protein sample you were going to pass along, but in the afternoon my kids are pretty impatient to get home and I didn't really think about the fact that I would always have them with me (it's a different drive pattern than the last few years).

I am planning to be there on Monday for that meeting . . . unless I end up having to go in to Miller as something happened there today that has my hackles up.

Insurance weight is getting down to the perfect weight/BMI that is in all those charts in doctor's offices . . . probably only a few pounds from where you are now. But I am shorter than you and started more than a 100 pounds heavier, so I am not sure I will lose a total of 300 pounds and get to what the chart says I should weigh, at least not without surgery that I am not sure I am up for (I might feel differently when I start to look more like a sharpei . . . right now I mostly have that issue with my chin, which I can pinch and have it stay for several seconds).

Congrats!  That's awesome!  

AWESOME!!!!  That is fabulous!  :D
