I know that is a small number compared to how much alot of you have lost but I'm feeling happy about it. I have lost 31.2 pounds since my vist to my surgeons office on January 31st. I have never lost 30 pounds in 2 months out before! I am 8 days out from surgery so there is more to come. YAY!

Oh and I lost 13 pounds "twice" because I came home 13 pounds heavier after my surgery.

I was 28 lbs heavier when I came home from the hospital. But it came off rather quickly!

MrsSmith I gained 13 pound from the fluids that they gave in the hospital. And the nurses told me that my doctor sets his patients IV's for an "heavier" drip than other doctors so his patients get more fluids than others.

They warned me that it would probably make me heavier when I went home but I wouldn't get dehydrated as quickly. I did lose it in about 3 days so it wasn't bad.

No one here has lost 100 pounds(or more) without losing 30 pounds first! Congratulations.
