How are things since your surgery and how much have you lost ths far?

Things are good, I was pretty uncomfortable after surgery but it was mostly my back hurting. I have had a bad back for a long time. But all in all its been good! I have lost 24 pounds since surgery, the past week my weight loss has slowed but I'm hoping for it to pick back up soon. I have started drinking 2 protein shakes and am hoping that will help. How are things going for you?

My day was moved up because of work commitments.....was Aug 13 now July 16......I feel like I'm going into panic mode! One day excited, next day terrified....mostly just tired of arguing with people who think the surgery is a dangerous cop-out to diet and exercise (not my family though)...starting pre-op diet Sunday, wish me luck :-)
