Is your scale an electronic scale that has 10ths and/or decimal

points showing??? How in the world do you know you lost 8/10's of a

pound. I know the dr.scales with the sliding counterweight are in

5ths between pounds.

Wow....the advances these days

Good luck with continued success in the donut experiment. Keep us

informed if it continues to work.

Colleen-

Yes, it's a digital scale. It's the " Thinner " brand (how funny)

and I got it for $60 at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It goes up to 330

pounds and it seems to work very well.

Sherry!

You got me all smiles over here! Mike couldnt believe it either but it

works for him. As long as you are getting enough protein and water and

other nutrients, just do as you said.....eat what you want and let the

surgery do its thang! Just know that at some point it will stop for a day

or two....tinker back and forth and be on its way down again. It does that

with me even without the donuts!

So, relax my friend....you are doing as expected!

Im sorry to hear about the van and the fence...but worse things have

happened!

Im rejoicing with you on your new discovery!

Judie

PS I have often wondered if this is part of the secret of the surgery but

they dont want us to know it for fear we will go back to our old eating

habits at the expense of protein and other foods that are so important to

us......what are your thoughts?

Okay Sherry....

I wont razz you too much about hitting your fence....BUT....just how fast

were you going that you couldn't stop before hitting your fence?!?! Oh

wait....I know what happened....as you were paying attention to avoid

hitting the garbage cans, the fence just jumped right out there and hit you!
