Down 28 Lbs In 25 Days

[Cyntha DelTorrro 10]

I couldn't be happier. I realize it won't continue at this rate. The first 20 fell off in the first 10 days and since then things have slowed to a normal level. My clothes are definitely looser. One thing that makes me really happy is that my feet and ankles no longer swell up painfully each day. I have essentially doubled my shoe wardrobe and I don't have to be concerned about wearing clothes that show my ankles. Dresses and capri pants are back in style for me. My ankles are now sexy again and the rest will follow.

I read postings by a lot of people who are on the fence about getting the surgery and I want to offer encouragement. I had a hard time in the hospital. I struggled with pain and virtually didn't sleep the two days I was there. At that point I doubted my decision (not like I could do anything about it, but, I was definitely wondering if it was going to be worth it) However, after I got home and ever since it's been pretty smooth sailing. My stomach has not rejected anything. The head hunger factor has been greatly reduced since I've gotten back to normal activities and off liquids. I've been on soft foods for a few days and am happy with what I can currently eat. The only struggle at this point are the protien shakes. I don't want anymore. Ever. However, I just treat them like any chore and get it done and out of the way as quickly as I can each day. If you're trying to decide, just know that for many people things go really well.

It's not unusual. I lost about a pound a day everyday for a couple of months.

I didn't say it is unusual. I'm just happy.

....me, too. I am in a stall, and NOT happy about it. I wondered if the surgeon removed the wrong organ during surgery! I know, patience...
