normally i weigh on tuesday and saturday but i think i weighed on sunday this time. i dont remember. but i got on the scale after my workout and shower at the normal time i weigh - 10 am. and it said 331!!! but my scale is 5 lbs off the hospitals so it really means 326!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just go my their scale because that's what we'll be going by for surgery. but that means i was 333 on sunday so ive lost alot more weight since then. i am in shock. i dont believe it. i got on the scale at 2 different times, like 4 times and it said the same thing everytime but the first time when i wasnt standing on it right. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 33 lbs lost since the 2nd week of June. this is a miracle. some of my pants still don't fit but this is so insane and i am so grateful. 7 more months until we submit for insurance approval. what's going to happen between now and then, i have no clue!!! 
i hope i dont bring anyone down but i didnt know where else to share this. i am so excited and yet confused. i have no idea what i am doing except what u've all told me and what they've told me. i dont think ive been getting all the water in exactly either. close maybe 48 oz but not 64.

Wonderful Sara. You are doing this. Lose as much as possible during this pre op time to help the surgeon have an easier time completing your surgery. Do not overthink the scale, enjoy the results and use this excitement to continue the process. Keep eating as healthy as you can, get in your fluids will increase the losing. Jumpin for joy with you, hang in there girlfriend. Hugs
