Happy Friday, everyone!

I had surgery on 4/20/12. I was 260 when I started my pre-op diet and 10 days later on day of surgery I weighed 246. Now I'm 2 weeks out and have lost another 16 pounds. Current weight is 230.5. The picture was about 5 pounds ago but I thought I'd post to show the difference that just 25 pounds has made. I was wearing a 20 pants and am now fitting comfortably into my 18's. I've still got a long way to go but the small changes already feel so great!

I can't see the picture but congratulations. What were you doing throughout those two weeks. I had surgery on May 1st and don't know what to do

I can't get the picture to load. Maybe this will work:

I can see the picture now. Congrats what have you done? What would you recommend I should do

Awesome job.. Congrats!!

Hey you are really rockin that sleeve! Congrats! Can't wait to see more!

You look fabulous! So happy for your success.

Thanks, everyone.

D1N - I haven't done anything spectacular. The first 10 days after surgery was full liquids only. It was tough because I was hungry. One day I got desperate and licked the cream out of some Oreos! The liquid only really makes you lose weight.

Now that I'm on "mushies" I eat lots of tuna salad and chicken salad, eggs, cheese, etc... I can only eat 3 or so tbsp at a time.

I don't work out yet. I should but I just haven't yet, other than 3 or 4 walks with the dog per day - but it's a slow pace and I never break a sweat.

The weight will come off. Just do what the doctor/nutritionist say and you'll be fine.

Please stay in touch. We're close in our journey. Congratulations on your surgery. I still can't believe I actually went through with this!! :-) But glad i did.

Woo hoo, you look amazing! Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks' date=' everyone.

Thank you so much for answering, I came home yesterday. And today I have been trying to do some walking around the house. You are too funny licking the oreo Cookies cream, I have not been hungry yet. Just drinking Water with crystal light energy, and Jello
