LD- I've only lost 3 lbs. in 4 full days!

Throw my scale......pish posh!  I just bought a new one last Sat.!   Truly...I am not a person who even likes the scale.  I will only weigh once a week.  TRULY!!!!   However, I just thought it would fall off with the LD!!!  You have all calmed my fears and I will not worry!  

Thank you tons!  I still do like the LD it makes my life simple and I have all kinds of time to do things instead of opening 30 kisses wrappers!!!!!  Truly...that took TIME!!!!!  

I agree with everyone your doing GREAT!!!!  I was really slow for the first few days then one day I went to bed and woke up and I had loss 10 lbs over night!!!  Right now your are going to be losing a lot of the water weight and I think its very different for many people as to how much of that they have to lose. I had lost a total 30 lbs on the LD but gained is all back with the fluids they gave me in the hospital so I had to lose it again (which wasn't too hard to do after surgery).   So I guess I'm saying don't be too worried about your number before because those IV's will pump a lot of it back in you before you know and you have to do it again.  Just stick to your doctors plan and it will all work out!!!

I'm on day 10 of my LD (one more day to go cuz I started early) and the pounds didn't drop for me until day 6 or 7. I weighed myself EVERYDAY for the first couple days thinking I would see the numbers tumble...didn't happen.  3 pounds is awesome girl!!!!!!  I'm at about 9-12 lbs lost since Saturday and it hasn't moved since.  (The reason i put 9-12 is because I think MY home scale is off compared to the doctor's scale and I'm waiting for the official number at the hospital on Friday)  I think everyone is right about the body thinking you're starving it.  Just think of it this way....you're ahead of the game ALREADY....You're not even restricted yet (stomach size wise) and you're losing!!!  How great is that? You'll lose more, don't worry. 

Lisa, i know your really excited!!! Just remember everybody is different.  Give the process time you will see the miricles that happen.  Keep up the great progress! Troy

Thank you so much for your responses everyone!!!!!    You all have such good things to say!   

Lisa Darlin', I could just about hear your voice coming through the screen again . . . I do not need to say anything more, except DO NOT WORRY as all these cheerleaders have said. Breath in the love and grace around you, and hold on sister. You still have nearly a week to go and you will have achieved the goal of preparing your even better chapter. I love you. (more tears. . . I've been crying so easily ever since surgery. . . They're tears I can't explain, but they definitely reside in the happy-tears category. . . thawing category.) I used to only PM. Now I rarely do. What's up?  Cindyjoy

That is hilarious....CindyJoy!  I love that you are changing your middle name! 
Thanks!

Cindy........tears?????? You bet!  all of those dang little hormones movin' on out of the fat!  Geez the smallest thing made me cry!  Then..........it goes away.
