I'm at day 24 post- op and I have lost about 20 pounds, although I have the Realize Band instead, I figure both are the same. I feel great was able to go back to work on Day 4 post-op. Been on mushies for about a week and half and I'm looking forward to the regular food. although the dr said on mushies I shouldn't eat mashed white potatoes. but instead eat soft baked fish, chicken salad, tuna salad type stuff. i'm looking forward to having a nice little salad with some tuna on top and some Fat Free Italian dressing :party:. I haven't ate anything that is starchy, no peas, or potatoes, except for sweet potatoes which the dr said was ok.
I'm going to start doing my walk away the pounds video this afternoon and then clean house. Next week im going to start going to the gym.
I guess what im trying to get at even though my dr said it was okay to lose weight in the first month he also said it was a time for healing as well. so maybe this is just your body's way of healing itself.
