One week post-op update

[Nancy Rivers 24]

One week ago today I had my surgery. Today, I weighed myself and found that I weighed just 268.2!!!!!!! I have not been under 270 in YEARS!

In the one week of post surgery I have lost MORE weight than the previous 8 weeks combined! I have lost just over 11 pounds this week. I have never been able to take off 11 pounds so quickly before. In the past I would struggle and I MAY accomplish it after a couple of months. Now, I did it in ONE WEEK!

This makes dealing with the diarrhea and the very tiny portion sizes so worth it!

That's awesome Nancy! I'm on week 2, maybe we can be buddies and help each other out. I lost 9.8 my first week. Woo-hoo!

Don't you just love your sleeve?

Thanks for the replies. Yup, I'm loving the sleeve right now.

I stopped by the hall where I work today as I needed to get a couple of things there and one of the ladies who I haven't seen since before my surgery (although she knew I was having the surgery) said that she thought my stomach area looked thinner. Then one of the other ladies (who I happen to be staying with at the moment) also commented that my "front" looked smaller today. I can't see the difference yet though. It might have been the top I was wearing - a relatively new top that is slightly loose on me. But I'll still take it.
