6 days post op

Hello Everyone, I have not posted but wanted to say hello to the A-Team memebers as well as everyone else. Tomorrow, Monday will be a week post op for me. I have lost 19 pounds and can not begin to tell how much better I feel after losing only 19 pounds. Obesity is a brutal way to live. I am now under 300 and can not believe how great I feel. I have been eating my ..........I mean drinking my protein shakes, broths, yogurt and other purees. It's realy not bad. You have to be creative as I have been making some awesome flavorless protien shakes with skim milk and fresh/frozen fruits. think my brain is hungry a little more often then my stomach. I feel satiety quickly and take a vitamin 2 times a day. Hopefully this soreness in the belly will go away soon and i will hit the gym for some cardio and weight training. Sorry for rambling. I'll be on my way now....*laughing*. Thanks for listening and best of luck to all awaiting for their new day and everyone post op, keep on and stay strong. God Bless everyone. Goodnight!

Now this is the kind of post I like to read!!!!! Positive & upbeat!!! You sound like you're doing awesome! I can't tell you how encouraging that is to someone who is about to undergo the knife! lol! Keep up the good work and keep posting! See you on the losers side after Wednesday! Cheers, Lisa S.

hey Lisa....I'll say a prayer for you....You will be fine. Go in with a good attitude and remember that you will have to make changes...but those are for the better and you will see that in just a few days after your surgery. good luck!!!!!!

You go Stallion! Don't you love it when a plan comes together! I'm still gonna drop a 100 before you though! Good luck, and continued success, buddy. DD

Thank You so much for that I needed it. I will have my surgery tommorrow. And of course I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. RAMBLE ON!!!! And I wish you continued success!

Hey Eric, Congrad to U, I had surgery on the 6th of April I have only lost 19 pounds and I am getting upset the scale hasn't moved in 3 days. I went for my 2 week check up and he said I was doing good. I still have a little pain where my port is in my stomach but for the most part I am doing great. my stomach is still swollen he said that would go down in a couple weeks. I have scheduled my first fill for May 17th and I am a little scared about that. good luck to you
