So I went to my surgeon for a 2 wk check up because I won't be available at the 3rd wk mark and really it was 12 days. I was weighed and discovered ... that I had lost 20 pounds!!!! 20 pounds!!!! In 12 days!! The last time I lost 20 pounds it took 4 months! I'm excited!

That's awesome! I would be excited too. :thumbup1:

Way to go !!!!!

WOW!!!! You must doing anything right.:thumbup1: Kudos.

Ok I know, I know I keep repeating myself but IT'S TRULY AMAZING!!! I seriously can't wait!!! CONGRATS!!!!

wow great, congrats, what a way to start off

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's great.

thats wonderful!

Thats awsome good job!!! cant wait to be able to say something like that.

how wonderful!

Thanks everybody, I was so thrilled in the surgeon's office. He had a rather pleased smile on his face too and when I mentioned that I couldn't begin to make it to his low calorie daily goal for me (600) he nodded his head approvingly saying, "I make those sleeves pretty tight".

My energy is definitely dependent on whether I hit my protein goal however, very noticeable. I've moved from fulls to softs and although I did so with the nut's blessing, I think I'm going to go back to fulls, as I am having painful spasm/acid episodes when I swallow, not a happy feeling.

So I weighed in the surg's office at 12 days out. The next time I have access to a scale won't be till maybe Aug 10, exactly two weeks after the first scale experience. I don't want to get complacent and assume it will always be that awesome, dilligence dilligence dilligence!! =)

(But still ... 20 pounds?!?!!) :tongue_smilie:

20 lbs is wonderful! I bet your smile was ear-to-ear!!!
