Sarah - I must admit that I lost 14 of it presurgery in my 2 weeks of optifast, but since that was just as hard I count that too!! Plus I still over 100 to go! So, please, feel no pressure, everyone goes at their own pace, thanks for the congrats, Lys

I definitely think you should count presurgery losses!!!! I've already had to do a liver shrinking diet once *ugh* - it's incredibly hard! That weight is gone, so it counts :)

I am counting my weight at the beginning of the pre-op diet also. I was wondering about this a couple of days ago and asked my husbands opinion. I lost 9 pounds before my surgery on the 2 week diet. I seen someone at Wal Mart today, that knew I had surgery last week. She asked how much I had lost and I told her 20 pounds and she could not believe it. Then I had to explain 9 pounds was pre-op. I think it may have been confusing. Is this what all you guys do? Or do you count from the day of surgery? Thanks, Penny

I'm so happy for you (not the infections though). Keep up the good work. That's fantastic. I'm also sitting here thinking...I had my surgery 1 month and 3 days after you....I hope that in 1 more month that I can say the same thing. Penny

You are doing so good. Congrats. I hope you feel better soon though it is never fun to have a double infection. Poor thing. Have a great day. Gwen
