I was given this prior to my surgery from my Bariatric Nurse in Duluth, MN....and here it is for you, to print out and  reflect on as the days and months go by...

loss of = the equivalent of:

1 lb = a Gunea pig
1.5 lbs = a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts
2 lbs = a rack of baby back ribs
3 lbs = an average human brain
4 lbs = an ostrich egg
5 lbs – a Chihuahua
6 lbs = a human skin
7.5    = an average newborn
8 lbs = a human head
10 lbs = amount of chemical additives an American consumes every year
11 lbs = an average housecat
12 lbs = a Bald Eagle
15 lbs = 10 dozen large eggs
16 lbs = a sperm whales brain
20 lbs = a car tire
23 lbs = amount of pizza an Average American eats in a year
24 lbs – a 3 gallon tub of super premium ice cream
25 lbs = an average 2 year old
30 lbs = amount of cheese an average American eats in (1) year
33lbs – a cinder block
36 lbs a mid-size microwave
40 lbs = a 5 gallon bottle of water or an average human leg
44 lbs = an elephant’s heart
50 lbs – a small bale of hay
55lbs  = a 5000 BTU air conditioner
60 lbs = an elephant’s penis
66 lbs = amount of fats and oils an average American eats in (1) year
70 lbs = an Irish Setter
77 lbs = a gold brick
80 lbs = the World’s Largest Ball of Tape
90 lbs = a new born calf
100 lbs = a 2 month old horse
111 lbs = amount of red meat an average American eats in (1) year
117 = an average fashion model and she’s 5’11"
118 lbs= the complete Encyclopedia Brittanica
120 lbs = amount of trash you throw away in a month
130 lbs = a newborn giraffe
138 lbs = amount of potatoes an average American eats in a year

(2) Chihuahuas
(2) Guinea pigs
****lephants penis

As I'm going down the list I'm thinking 'I can't wait to tell my friends what item I lost'...

I think I'd be too embarrassed to say it, though!
