Official Loser

So I had my 2 week post-op visit on June 28, 2006 I expected more, so I'm kind of dissapointed - but it could be worse! I could be gaining! I've lost 15 lbs. I'm now 340 lbs. I just try and think of it in small steps, like I'm 20 lbs away from 320 lbs, which is 21 lbs away from 299 lbs, which is 49 lbs away from 250 lbs... and so on.... Yay for me Is -15 lbs in the first 2 weeks normal?

Serena, Be Positive & Happy. Your a Brand New you inside. It'll take a few weeks to get use to the idea inside. Don't compare yourself to others now either. 15 pounds is great. Men lose faster than women, remember that. You'll be dropping steadily. Your Doing GREAT!!!!!!! Mike

Congrats on being a Loser! Just remember every one is different, thats what I keep reading on these posts. How you are feeling and listening to your body are vey important. Dose your doctor say you're on track? We are here for you. hugs hugs hugs

15 lbs is excellent! You have lost the equivalent of 60 sticks of butter! Or, if you prefer, 80% of my dachshund. Don't get discouraged if you don't lose a lot every week. Even if you lose one pound, remember, it's still a loss. Kix

Hi Serena, Welcome to the losing side. Congratulations on losing 15 pounds. Way to go!!! Your doing great. Take care, Diana 379/173/?

Serena, Sounds great to me! I started at 384. I'm now 237. Now each lb I lose is a real struggle. Enjoy the quick weight loss of the beginning. Biting the goal off in chunks is the only way to go! Lori
