  15. Hi I am 9 day post op....well to tell ya the truth...I went into surgery at 205 3 days after i was 215...I was shocked..they said it was all the IV fluids etc....they tried to do a keyhole but had to cut me open instead 8 inch cut.... I am on 2 shakes and 1 soup a day....and I am hungary....I thought all that would go away...and it did some....but I am eyeing my kids dinners etc...not that I would do it cause they said it would make my stomach leak which I am deathly afraid of....today nine days later I am back to 205....I get on the scale like about 4 times a day to see if anything is happening....lol....and nothing is happening...I thought I would have lost at least 60 lb by now...NOT...just kidding....I dunno..Im doing it all but I dont have much patience and I am in a LOT of pain from this cut I have.......24th aug I go onto puree food so we will see if that makes me a bit better in my mind.... Good luck to you girls...if anyone wants to email me ...I am at gokiwi68@gmail.com cheers...
