<p>OMG I am SO excited!!!!!</p>
<p> I thought for sure I'd hit a plateau with only losing 1 1/2 pounds last week and then really feeling like I hadn't lost anything at all this past week. Well I'm 5 weeks post op today and I'm trying to keep a week by week loss journal to help me with my so I stepped onto the scales this morning just dreading it. BUT I LOST!!!!! Not a lot, only 1 1/4 pounds, BUT STILL I LOST!!!! I can't believe it! </p>
<p> I'm down a total now of 33 1/2 pounds!!! It's not as much as I was expecting at 5 weeks out, but after this last week I'm just thanking God that I had a loss!</p>
<p>Prayers and positive thoughts to everyone having their surgery this week, and to those still fighting for approval. Mary Beth </p>
