I had my surgery 1 week ago, on 8/26 and went for my follow-up visit this afternoon - 9/3. I'm so thrilled. In the 1st week since surgery, I lost 11 pounds. And totally in the past 3 weeks, which includes the 2 week pre-op diet I was on, I've lost a total of 25 pounds!
I *know* this won't continue at this rate, but I feel really good about the beginning. And I can *wish* it would continue at this rate!
Anyway, I'm onto the Phase II - "full liquid". Tonight's sugar free, fat free, lactose free chocolate pudding was like luxury!
Wishing us all continued success.

You look fantastic I pray that when I get my surgery that I will be as disciplined as you now did you work out a lot because your arms are so small and everyone else seemed to have those wings and your belly seems so flat looking at you in that dress or did you just not have a lot of excess skin because there are some women who don't have the excess skin

I know exactly what you mean!! I think that may be part of why I allowed myself to gain so much weight to begin with. Regardless of how much weight I gained, I always saw the same person in the mirror. But when I would see a picture of myself, my mouth would just drop because I couldn't believe how big I was and how disgusting I looked. Its pretty much the same thing now. I don't see all that much of a difference when I look in the mirror, but when I look at a current picture of myself, I think, wow, that cannot be the same person! Keep up the great work!

I knew i was feeling better but i wasnt ready to take body shots what i see in the pics the mirror never showed me
