I had my Post op appointment with my surgeon this afternoon. I came online to look at some things and update my tickers with my new weight.

and

dam I realized im down 8.8 Pounds or 4kgs since Op day.

My doctor is happy with this and while distracted going through my notes as I talked to him. He announces your now below the weight you were when you first came to see me 3yrs ago for the band.

Now I need to focus on healing over the next few months. The weight loss as a result is just a bonus

Or Am I looking at it the wrong way???

Look at it however you want. Now is the time to learn all your new eating habits and drinking habits. This is a full time job for awhile. I am almost 3 weeks post op and it is still a challenge. Keep up the good work and best of luck.
