How are you doing?

January is just about over... How is your recovery and weight loss going?

To those who are days away, how is the anticipation treating you?

I'm 10 days post-op, but only 8 days out of the hospital (and therefore off of the IV fluids), and I have lost the 9 pounds I put on in the hospital plus 1 more pound. So, 10# in 8 days isn't bad, IMO, and it's my understanding that I'll start to see more drastic results now that the hospital weight is gone. I'm finally just about over the stupid cold I caught in the hospital and, otherwise, I feel great! Having no trouble getting in my fluids, Protein, and Vitamins. Transitioning to purees in a few days--very happy about that.

Thanks for asking, AmandaRae. How are you feeling?

I'm glad to hear you're progressing so well. I'm betting you're happy to be home.

I'm getting antsy and have some crazy butterflies. Thanx for asking! :-)
