Hi,

I just had my first visit with my doctor after my surgery date. He said I am healing correctly and I have lost 25 pd and just had my surgery on Nov. 12th!!!! To be honest, I didn't realize I had lost that much. Yes, I am happy, but I still have a long haul ahead. The doctor gave me permission to start eating soft foods. So this is going to be interesting. So I can shop for real food and not just Protein shakes. I think I am getting allergic to them.

So tonight I am going to try eggs and a slice of turkey and see how that works for me.

That is so great!!!

Congrats!

Awesome. Enjoy the "real" food. Just don't get discouraged if it is harder than you expect at first. Take VERY small bites and give yourself time.

You are officially a LOSER now!

Wow, 25 pounds in 2 weeks??? May I ask where you started at? I am one week post op and I have only lost 3 pounds and I am getting a little discouraged.

Hi,

Please don't get discourage. I started at 283 pds.

Please remember, your body has to adjust from the trama that was caused to it and the swelling from your stomach being blown up. Be patient - it will happen.
