After two weeks on my liquid diet, and one week post-op, I am down 34 pounds. Blood pressure was 119/67 so my doc took me off my hypertension med, Benicar. Slight problem with lower intestinal gas, but Gas X eliminated it. I have had no acid problems, no reflux, and no pain. I am truly blessed and wanted to share the good news.

On another note...has anyone heard from Ange from down under? Her surgery was earlier this week but have not heard a peep.

Bob, you are doing great. That is awesome about being taken off of the hypertension medication. And, things are just going to keep on getting better!

You're doing great, and I'm glad to hear that your blood pressure was so good that you no longer need the medication. . . Keep on truckin' ! ! !

That's great Bob! Way to go!!!

Congratulations!!!

WHOA - That is fantastic Bob -- you've lost as much in 3 weeks as I have in 2 months ... I know men always lose faster as Bearded is fast approaching me in weight loss and it's only been 1 month for him ... keep up the good work and congrats on getting off the BP medication.

peep!!! *winks* thats amazing bob!!! fadeing away as we speak!!! keep it up....the good work that is!!! lol

Had my first weigh in today and have lost 17lbs since surgery last week. Dr. was pleased. He also was very please at my incisions as he did the entire surgery through my belly button....said you should be able to see any real evidence it's been done;-) Wahooo! I scare really easy and yes....I have some vanity:blushing:

CONGRATULATIONS Bob!!!

Great news about the blood pressure! I was really lucky that even at my heavist I wasn't on BP meds, but after the weight loss my BP had come down ALOT and Doc was a bit concerned that it is too low, but said as long as I'm not dizzy or light headed he'll just watch it for now, so keep an eye on it.

Keep up the good work!

Isn't it such a GREAT feeling!!?

Caro, sounds like you are doing great as well, congrats!
