The heading says it all. This is the first time since my surgery that I actually feel like I didn't make a bad decision to have it. I hadn't been on a scale (husband and I have been traveling) since 2/17. Weighed myself at a Winn-Dixie in Florida that had an old Toledo scale inside. Could have knocked me over with a feather! Almost a third of the way to my goal weight.
Have to go now and update my tracker!

Congratulations! You are doing great! Isn't it wonderful to see the scale going down, down, down?! :-)

Thank you all for your kind comments. I realize that the sleeve is doing most of the work right now; all I've had to do so far is nibble carefully on the right foods. As healing continues, I will have to take more responsibility for portions. Also need to work on my activity and exercise levels, which are almost nonexistent after my illness. But today really gave me a great boost to start working harder on my deficits.
