Update/Question

UPDATE........ Hey guys, I wish I had time to stop by as much as Id like. went to my DR today and thought he would fuss. his scale has me 6 pounds more than my home scale, so in his office I weigh 202. He says my loss is right on track. I started at at 232 day of surgery but was nearly 260 when I first started seing him. QUESTION?????? for the weigh in, do you like to see total loss be since surgery or from highest weight. I prefer since surgery, since that way we can have an idea of where we started. I think it would be coul to list both, just wondering what you all think. Elsa

Hey Elsa!! Long time no see. I think it should either be since surgery or listed separately. My reasoning is because I wasn't required to diet before surgery. As a matter of fact I GAINED 6 pounds between my first consult and the day of surgery. When I see people post that they have lost 80+ pounds I get really discouraged. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled for them but it makes it almost pointless to compare. Dawn

LOVE the new pic!!!

Thanks

Hi Elsa That makes sense to me too. You could list Highest weight, surgery day weoght, current weight. Regards and hugs, Ronna

Elsa, Good to "see" you! I prefer weight loss since surgery for the reason you stated. However, I do have to say that my highest weight WAS right before surgery! Chele

I list both of them seperate. I was required to lose some weight by my surgeon even before the 2 week diet that I had to be on. If I hadn't have been required I wouldn't have done it, so I consider that part of my entire journey. But, it does get confusing. Leeanne
