I lost 11lbs in 6 days after surgery OMG

Unbelievable. I had surgery on 12/30/13 and I was 213lbs just 30min before surgery. Today my mom weighted her self and I said eh what the hell... I was 200lbs OMG... It's hard just drinking liquids but now it's sooooo worth it. It makes me work harder and not think about food much. I know that I will never be 200lbs again after this week. So yes, it's worth having surgery. I know this might just be water weight but I am loving it. I wanna tear because I am soooooooooo happy. Guys just keep trying... I never thought it would be me.. Especially that much. I pray and thank god for not having any problem drinking my liquids except for plain water. Still don't like the flavor of plain water. One tip I have is, don't think about tomorrow, just focus on today. I've been watching movies looking at work dresses that I can't wait to buy and wear... Take a nap during the afternoon, read books and spend time with my family. They've been so good and not eat in front of me.. Yes I am beyond HAPPY and wanted to share with my second family (you guys)

Congrats on your success so far! I was suprised myself that I had lost 10lbs one week out from the surgery. I kind of chuckled and said it must have been 10lbs of stomach they pulled out of me :)

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. :) Just remember your energy and enthusiasm in the coming weeks if and when you hit a stall and don't beat yourself about it! Your body will lose weight at its own pace.

Thank you so much. This motivated me. I was jut telling my mom that seeing the scale move down made me work harder and accept that this was the best thing that ever happened to me :) .. So excited to lose another 60pounds
