June 18 surgery--and yeah, 18 pounds down......

[LivingProof 31]

Hope all the June 18ers are in fine form!

I've been following my surgeon's orders not perfectly, but as near to perfectly as I can (can't always get all that Water IN).

It took me 12 minutes to walk 1/4 mile today--that's my speed....and three of these days I just couldn't walk any of the 30 minutes I'm supposed to be doing.

I got on the scales this morning and was totally SHOCKED!!! but in a really, really good way.

Mostly, I feel pretty good since surgery. No pain meds, but I still get that "I must have done a thousand sit-ups yesterday, but I've completely forgotten it." And I've got Heartburn--like, WHERE did THAT come from?

Just wanted to share the (mostly) good news--and send out a word of encouragement to those who are going through these early days. :-)

I was June 18 as well. I am down 12lbs. I also need to walk more. I am committed to going to my gym every day this week. I am very tired of the liquid phase and am glad to be adding some semi-solids on Wed! I am back at work starting today and have to remind myself to get up and stretch. Sitting for a long period makes everything stiff.

I am also June 18. So far I have lost 25 lbs but only 1 lb in the last 2 weeks. I am eating correctly and walking 30 min 5 times a week but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. This week I am going to concentrat on protien and water...maybe that's my problem.
