Here I am at 1 week and 1 day post-op. Down 31 pounds (14 lbs from pre-op diet)!!!

I am feeling amazing. I tried wedding dresses on today! Even though I'm not where I want to be, it felt amazing to have the dresses CLIPPED in the back because they were TOO BIG!

I was struggling for a couple of days as far as getting protien down- everything tasted awful. Thanks to the dieticians I am now eating Campbell's cream Soups made with FF Lactaid milk and blended in my Ninja. I've been adding unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to the Soup to make sure I get the protien.

FEELING GREAT! SO happy the "buyer's remorse" is gone. That was worrying me!

Just wanted to share the good news. I can't believe how great I feel with just a little bit of weight loss!

Congrats on your success! Sounds like you are in a very good place! You aren't that far in distance to me. Glad to know someone else is near!

That is just awesome! good for you. Wishing you the best w/ the wedding.

Ummm never heard of them. :biggrin:

Where abouts are you?

Shelly I'm in Merrillville. It's not around the corner but close... :smile1:

Wow you are doing great!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for posting this. My surgery is on March 7th and I admit I'm scared. I've even wondered if it's not too late to back out. I'm worried about fatigue and upchucking and Vitamin deficiencies and everything else. It's good to see you feeling so well so soon. It gives me faith.

Thank you

It's completely normal to be nervous- heck they were taking me to the OR and I wanted to back out and that was even after two rounds of some drug they gave me to calm down because my pulse was 104. It sucked the night after surgery and didn't feel better (not pain, depression) until about 3 days later. A lot of that is the anesthesia, too. Right now I'm at my 2 week follow up. I feel great and I'm happy I went through with it! Just breath- the big step you're going to take is sooo worth it. I bought a wedding dress just last week. I ordered it two sizes smaller than I currently need and hopefully in 5 months they'll have to take it down even more!

Good luck and make sure you keep us all updated! I will say this forum has really helped me! Make sure you really talk to your dietician. They'll tell you things like- don't eat in front of or in ear shot of a tv while you eat!
