NoExcuses

I had surgery on March 26. Everything has been going very well and I am down 21 lbs! The day I got home from the hospital I threw my scale out because I didn't want to become obsessed with it, so this was the first time I weighed myself since surgery. Woo hoo! After I got home I started trying on the 10 pairs of pants that are hanging in my closet that I have not worn in sooooo long. Happy to say a couple of them fit! Today I am wearing a pair of capris that I haven't worn for a couple of years, and am ok with showing some leg now!

Beef and broccoli? or chicken with Chinese veggies? I'd skip the rice, though. That might now set well at this point. Enjoy! I have a couple of weeks before solids . . . and I love Chinese, too!

Hi everyone - first time poster here, but been lurking around since January when I went for my consultation (1/24/12). I have since had my surgery (3/26/12) and am nearly two weeks out. This forum has been an incredible source for me during these emotional, life-changing two weeks. While recuperating at home I have repeatedly been to the forum and have learned so much from all of you. I just wanted to say thanks from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me more than you will ever know!!! The forum was especially critical to me during the first few days home from the hospital when every little burp, pain, growl, etc. had me panicked. My mood was very low and I was filled with regret. This forum helped me understand how "normal" I am and how things do, in fact, get better. I'm happy to report all is well, and I'm so excited about this journey! Hugs to all!!
