i just hit 90lbs this morning!!!!!!   woohooo!!!!!!!  i can taste the 100lb mark!! (no pun intended) lol

i can't believe it!  it is so surreal to me! to look back and think i lost a small child ...is amazing!
i had no idea my life would be changing like it has been. all for the good of course! i find myself with a new lease on life!  i am feeling more confident than ever, and i can BREATHE a huge sigh a relief!!!  

ofcourse, i still have about 25 more to go to reach my goal, but i can only imagine the feeling of getting there...just knowing what i know now, and how i feel.... i just want to say, I AM SO HAPPY I MADE THIS DECISION, and will never, ever question why!

so if you are reading this, and thinking about doing it,... all i can say to you is... GO FOR IT!
and for those who have had it done, well.... there is not much more i can say that you aren't probably already experiencing...

CONGRATS LINDA!!!  Nice job!  I am just 6 days post op and am feeling pretty good, i feel like I have lost some weight already but my scale is strange.  i stepped on it this morning and it was higher than pre op so i moved it to a different spot in the bathroom and it was like 7 pounds lower than the first one, go figure, i dunno.  I go to the doctors next Friday so that will be my first "official" weigh in and i cant wait.  I agree about the decision to have this surgery, to me it was the best decision, and to think I am only 6 days Post.  There was all of about 6 hrs in the hospital when I was asking myself what the hell I did.  but i am so happy to have done it.  Again, congrats to you and your 90 pounds, you see see that 100 pound mark soon i am sure....good job and keep it up!!!

Brian,

About the scales...mine went haywire, or so I thought, after my surgery.  First, I had gained, yes GAINED 10 pounds but most of it was from the IV fluids.  Once I got that out of my system, I was right back to my weight at surgery date.  Then the scales were doing really strange things so I thought it was broke.  I figured out (after buying a new scale) that my bathroom floor, which has 12x12 tiles, was not level.  Once I placed my scale on a level floor-the kitchen- it works fine!

I love my new scale as it shows that little down arrow every time I get on, letting me know I've lost weight.  WOOT WOOT!!!

Try a level spot...that might be the solution.
