I'm on my way

Hi! I am just beginning this journey and have enjoyed reading all of the blogs that all of you have posted. I thought that I would have the surgery and two weeks later I would be 25 pounds thinner and never feel hungry and be on my way. I was so discouraged until reading from all of you. I thought "Another expensive diet that won't work for me because I am unhelpable!" It's been 3 weeks and I've lost 10 pounds.

10 pounds in three weeks??? That's fabulous, don't you think?!! I'm four days out of surgery and it appears I have gone down four pounds. I'm sure it's all water weight. The real test is when I can get on mushies (or solids.)
