2 Week Post Op Update!!

Thank you! I hope you get a surprise Roz! It feels SO good to see that scale move. You'll have to tell me about it when you know your big number! Allie

Good for you, Allie! You must feel great!

Thanks Lisa! I'm ecstatic! I never thought something would such an adrenaline booster as seeing the scale move that much!!! Allie

Great job Allie!!!!! That was definately a "WOW" moment for you!!! And just think... there's more to come! Enjoy the journey! Cheers, Lisa (down 19-lbs so far)

Thanks Lisa!! And you've done so well yourself!! I love this ride! Allie

Holy Moly! Congrats! I have lost 10 lbs since surgery, but actually not a single pound since I was one week post-op, so I'm a little concerned about that. I am also two weeks out (as of tomorrow). I'm going to give it another week and see what gives. But, since you have had such phenomenal success, can you tell me what your doc told you to do for the 1st week, 2 weeks, and month in terms of food and exercise? I'm interested to see the differences in what people are hearing. Thanks!

Thank you!! Well my doc told me full liquids for the first two weeks. But my full liquids consisted of anything liquid obviously, jello, pudding, cream of wheat, mashed potatoes. From weeks 2-6 I'm allowed soft foods, cottage cheese, refried beans, ground meat, cooked vegetables. For exercise I'm only allowed to walk or be in the pool. That may be an individual decision by my doctor due to my heart issues so as not to put too much strain on my already freaked out heart. I am also VERY heavy as well having started out at 444 and that may be why I'm losing so fast. You'll get yours off, don't worry!! Allie

I went to the Doc today and I have lost 16 pounds since my surgery I was happy but a little disappointed, I thought I would have lost more but I will take it as it comes. In total I have lost 30 pounds. I start on my pureed food today but I have no appetite still but I will start eating pureed food to start. Roz

See!!! 16 pounds is WONDERFUL!!! DOn't be disappointed. I'm VERY heavy so maybe that is why I've lost so much. You're doing very good!! When you are able to start exercising more, it will be melting off fast! Allie

Wow Allie that's great!!! You are my inspiration. I had my 2wk follow up on monday and lost 13 lbs. I have lost 19 in total since my highest weight 349. It is a good start, just can't wait until I see the results of 50+ lbs. Keep up the good work. Deltagirl90
