lollyfidy1965 402 Posted September 3, 2012 I used the weight I was the day I had my first appointment with my surgeon. BUT....when people ask how much weight I've lost, I count from my highest weight, which was about 1 1/2 months earlier (and 24 pounds heavier). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diochick 40 Posted September 3, 2012 With everything I use my highest ever weight, which is the day of my first consult. So if someone asks how much I've lost total I just calculate from there. It was the starting point of my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
