Since surgery I've been so incredibly worried that I'm doing something wrong - I'm 2 and a half weeks out and have no problem getting down my 500-700 calories a day, AND liquids. I'm not bragging! I really thought that maybe the surgery had been botched, with all the horror stories I"ve read.
However I realized the other day that even with so few calories, I haven't been hungry at all so far, and that maybe I should be grateful that things are going relatively smoothly. Then I was weighed at the doctor's yesterday, and found out I've lost another 17 pounds, making my total loss since October 18th (the day I got home from surgery) 32 pounds!! (And 44 pounds from a couple of months ago.)
I'm so psyched. I can really feel the difference. I'm walking around faster and with more ease. Pants that didn't fit a few days ago fit now.
