Congrats on your big loss number! that is great! I still had swelling at seven days...now I'm 15 days and I feel like everything has really calmed down. I think it is normal.

I'm 5 days out and my pants are still the same size. I can get liquids down but not protein shakes.

That's awesome, Kristine! That's a lot of weight in one week! WOW! Congrats!! :clap2:

Isn't it great! Congrats!!

So great!! Congrats on your weight loss! That's awesome. I bet you're so excited! It helps so much to see results so soon it just makes you happier and motivated then ever before. Keep up the great work! Tomorrow will be 6 days since my surgery and I go to see my surgeon and get weighed so hopefully I'm seeing good results as well. Yaay =))
