I am 17 days out I dont count the surgery day, lol and I weighed 352 going in to surgery...I weighed at the gym and I was 328...so that means around 24 pounds down...She told me that I should take a couple pounds off for shoes and clothes ect and that scale usually adds 3-5 pounds.. so I have lost between 25-30 pounds.. Well then we are shopping at K-mart and they had these summer dresses on sale for 6 dollars.. and I bought a 2X just for something to lounge around in thats comfy, and I got home and it fit.. a little tight in the chest but the rest was huge....On the way out they have those scales that you put a quarter in so yes I had to just to see how accurate the one at the gym was...and it said I weighed 325lbs so that would be -27 pounds in a little over 2 weeks Still not my doctors scale but atleast it shows progress of some sort THENNNNNNNNN................. Everyone knows I got in an accident and wrecked my van well I didnt my Roomate was drying but anyhow I have had no transportation since I left the hospital and its been driving me insane I had no insurance on my van either and as I type its sitting at a dealership, and they wont work on it till I give them aprox 4000 dollars....Well I bought a 1993 Pontiac sunbird from my mom before they went to Europe the end of last year becaseu they wanted to get rid of it and have some extra spending money well 3 days after I bought it it stopped running.. I tell ya what I have some bad luck.. SO its been sitting in my garage since.. well A freind I was blessed to meet on here a couple months before my surgery who I have become very close with Tonya took time out of her busy day andthey were headed out of town with her kids..
