I had my post op visit on 2/22/18 and everything went really well.

I am down -19lbs since my surgery on 2/12/18. [emoji6]

My doctor said to focus on hydration and exercise. [emoji108]

I am happy with those results and trying to push myself into a healthier mentality. Like getting up to exercise, drinking water everywhere I go, getting to bed at a decent time, resisting the foods that got me here, etc. I really want a Philly Cheesesteak.[emoji31] [emoji23]

That's a lot of weight to lose in your first 10 days! Sounds like things are off to a really good start. Nah, you don't really want that cheesesteak, you just think you do. It's also good that you're working to establish a routine. That will be helpful later on.

Damn! Congrats! What have you been eating? Can you share your menus?

I'm day 4 and have only lost 3 lbs of the regain weight. Was 222.4 the morning of surgery, went up to 227.8lbs, now 224.2lbs this morning. So it's not even new, virgin weight loss territory!

@FluffyChix Time for a "damn batman" moment! :-) You're only 4 days outta surgery and you've set some awfully high expectations. You're doing great. When I go to get my insides re-routed on March 12th, I am going in with the absolute worst expectations - to lose a pound a week if that. That way I'll be pleasantly surprised. Also, I am not gonna be married to the fooking scale. I'll weigh myself when I feel like it. From my previous (short term) successful weight loss attempts, I learned that as long as I am honest with myself, track everything, and follow the prescription diet to a T, I don't need a scale to show me that I am losing weight. I am more than a number.
