One Week Post-Op

Okay guys I just returned from my one week post-op appointment and I am doing great! I am down 30 POUNDS since they started me on the pre-op diet 3 weeks ago! That means I have lost about 11 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK!! I know that is the norm, but I just can't believe I am capable of dropping the weight that fast! I mean you all know what I am talking about, we have spent our whole lives trying to get the weight off and in less than a month I have lost more than I have lost after dieting for a whole year! ITS AMAZING! I feel great! I also got to have scrambled eggs and cheese for lunch and let me tell you it was the yummiest meal I have had in a long time! I was so sick of broth, jello, and protein shakes I was mourning food BAD, but now I feel much better and actually feel like I consumed  meal! If all goes well I get to start chicken next Tuesday after my 2 week check-up! I haven't been so excited in a long time!! Thank you all soooo much for the support and encouragement! I am sooooo happy to finally be on the loser's bench!!

You are doing wonderfully! 30 pounds is awesome! Can you see the weight loss yet? I can tell in my face.  I bet the eggs were wonderful. I know my taste buds nearly swooned when they tasted a little cottage cheese after 2 weeks of liquids. I didn't even like cottage cheese before surgery.

Keep us posted on your progress. I love hearing how everyone else is doing and the new foods they are trying.

Amanda,

Thanks! I don't quite see it yet, but my mom said she can tell in my face, but we will see! I am hoping that I will see a difference in my clothes soon!

WOW!  11 lbs in a week is GREAT! Congrats.

Thanks Linda!

Wow, Shelba you are doing great.  I cant start the next food stage in two days.  I can't wait.  A scrambled egg might be heaven.  I am glad you are having a happy day. 

Thanks! The scrambled egg was definitely heaven for me! I guess my surgeon advances in the diet much quicker than others, so I was able to try it at one week out!

WOOT!!!!! Awesome Shelba!!! 

Thanks!
