lifesaveremt (RIP)

Im 8 days post op, and Im down 14lbs. I think there are some very important facts we all need to remember. First, the scales are our enemy! Most want to weigh in daily and expect losses but as many have pointed out we are losing sizes and not always weight. Either way we are getting where we want to be. Second, we didn't put the weight on overnight, and cannot expect it to come off overnight! This is a journey (marathon) not a instant fix (sprint)! Keep the faith, stick to your plan, and stay off the scales! We all will get there, but at different paces! We just have to remember why we made this choice, stick to our decision, and WORK at it!! We all knew going in this is a TOOL to assist US not a instant cure for being fat!!

Sorry I'm late getting back to you but I just feel up to posing comments. Such little sleep last night do to pain, walking, and gas. I finally got some sleep today, and feel rested. Dr. said I did great and looked great this morning and discharged my this evening. I'm home resting comfortably and on my Clear liquids. I was never so happy to get popsicles! Hope you're doing well!

Congrats and I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your nausea stops and for a speedy recovery!! We made it!!

Sleeved and in my room. Bp up but doing ok so far. Goodnight all.
