I won't say that I'm at "after" yet, but I'm only one pound from my surgeon's goal. I'm 4.5 months post-op and down 96 lbs since I started this journey last July. Down 53 lbs since surgery in November.
I made a turkey breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, steamed carrots, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie.
I ate about 1.5 oz of turkey, with gravy, and about 3 steamed baby carrots, and I'm more than satisfied. I'm two weeks post-op today.
I can wait to get to find a new passion (though cycling is already a passion and I've already done 75 mile rides). First off, getting from pre-op to post-op.
