I can't even believe it! I had my surgery last monday, and for the FIRST TIME in over a year I got on my scale today and it didn't say ERROR!!!! I'm down 25 pounds since weighing in 3 weeks pre-op. I'm not sure how much I lost when and where, a lot has been this past 6 days on the full liquid diet I'm sure (which I've followed very strictly).

But anyway, I just wanted to chime on my short-term success and provide support and advice to anyone who needed it. If I can do this, ANYONE CAN!

25 in a week? wow...you must be over the moon.

Good for you!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks all, have my follow-up this afternoon and I'm down 2 more pounds!

Weeeeee. I love liquid diets! (lol)

That's great! I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly and you have lots of continued success!!

Way to go! I am impressed, and can imagine that you are too!

Keep up the great work, and keep us posted! I look forward to following in your footsteps. My surgery is 40 days away on 1/12/09

Thanks for all your replies. I had my post op follow-up yesterday, down a couple more lbs..the doctor said I was doing great, and very "text-book success" whatever that means.

So here's to all our our continued success!!!!
