10 days post op and lost 12 lbs!!!

I weighed this AM and I am down to 376!!!! I haven't been here since 1997. I am frigging amazed. My surgeon was very careful not to guarantee a pound amount of weight. He just dryly said 70% lose 70% in the first year, the rest vary wildly. So I'm thinking, "I'll lose about 100 pounds in the next 12 to 18 months...." But this is much faster, so far. I'm ahead of schedule, baby!!!!

Derrick, Way to go, my man! My surgery was the 29th and I'm hoping for similar results. How are you doing with the liquids every half hour?? I'm having no pain and feelling great...are you?? Hugs...Carole

Great job Derrick!!! You are a little ahead of me, but I have less to lose. We are post op about the same amt of time....good luck to you and keep up the good work!! Mikey RN

How exciting!!! Congrats!! Yep, you'll be losing a LOT this month and the next few months! It slows down after a while, but enjoy this while it lasts! I know I am! Keep up the good work! Your body will love you for it!

Congrats Derrick, I was 10 days post-op on march 31st and was done 9 lbs since surgery... I am scared to get on a scale because I am not sure if it will disappointment me. I dont go back to Dr Hart until May 2 and that is to see the dietian. Guess I need to get a scale to weigh my self once a week. How many shakes are you doing a day? I am doing one, and soft foods to get in my protein, but I think I am going to start 2 shakes and and go back to really soft foods. I can tolerate chicken, turkey, and most everything I put in my mouth, except orange juice. I should have known that being a nurse, you give diabetics OJ when their sugars are low, and I tried about 1-2 ozs and was sick... Had a brain fart I guess. Hope to talk to you soon. D'Lynn
