For those who would like to see, I posted a couple of two week post-op pics. Starting to notice wonderful changes.

Great progress Bob, Congrats, you are looking good!

Looking good Bob! I can see the change already.

Whoa, Bob!! I was expecting a slight change, but nothing like what I saw. You can really, really see a tremendous difference already! You are looking fabulous.

WOW, what a difference. I can't wait to be 2 weeks out! Great job!

go directly to pics do not pass go...do not collect $200 (although im gonna need it!!! hopsital stung me an extra $1500 that i have to pull......... hey bob...you finger still ready??)

Hey, enough of encouraging Bob and that finger of his!! :scared0: We are trying to keep this a safe environment for everyone to enjoy. :confused1:

Looking good Bob --- keep up the good work.

Ange - do not encourage him -- you know that the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys -- they may get older but they don't grow up and still find the pulling the finger gig hilarious at 60 .. :confused1:

Thanks for the kind messages. I went for my two week post visit today and am down 43 pounds. Shocked me. BP was 117/72, and I am not even on my hypertension drug any more! Staples and stitches came out without a problem and my wounds are healing nicely. On to the mushies! Was surprised that I was told to avoid fresh fruit for a while yet (which may explain why the watermelon went down like a toxic bomb), and no beef for three months. But I can have my finger pulled as often as needed! :confused1:

Bob, I just found your post about your 2 week pics...all I can say is WOW. What a difference. Isn't this fun? With results like that it makes all the effort worth while. Enjoy the losing feeling. How are you doing with your eating this 1st month?

Congrats Bob -- that's great ... and it's so strange that your doc said no fresh fruit when watermelon was on my list as a full liquid -- obviously every doctor has their own method to their madness I guess. I haven't tried any beef yet - unless ground - but I'd really love a few bites of filet mignon.

Great hopes make great man.url=http://www.niudubaba.cn/]FF11[/url]

What is this link you are posting because it's not coming through and you've posted it on at least 4 threads so far -- and they're the only posts you've posted - what is it and why do you feel it necessary to post it on all the threads? Curious.
