Thumbs up I can not believe it!! I lost 20 pounds!!

Hello all,

I just had to let everyone know. At my one week follow-up, I weighed in 20 pounds down!!!! I realize that it is mostly water and such, but it still feels great.

I also got to meet Paulina, Debbie, and oh darn, I forgot her name, shame on me. Well anyway they all seem so very nice. I hope I did not forget anyone.

Well, anyway I am really starting to feel good. I am at the point where I am glad again that I did go through with it.

Thanks again to everyone for thier words of wisdom.

Davey

I'm glad you are feeling better and you know my line now as become "If I had to do this every year for the rest of my life I would" I have never felt so good in my life.

Keep up the great work and when you do have a bad day remember we are here for you and we know what it's like.

Default Your such a guy!!

Davey,

You are such a guy!!! LOL Women for the most part don't lose as much or as fast as guys do.. but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all. My one week check up I had lost 4 lbs.. but you know what.. I am ok with that.. especially now being 8 1/2 months out and down 118 lbs.. I can live with the 4 lbs in the beginning..

Thanks for sharing.. you are doing great.. I am so happy for you. It does have to make you feel so much better seeing that the surgery is already working!!! Keep up the great work!!!
