first time posting
Hi everyone,
I feel like I know a few of you just from reading your posts. I have decided to stop lurking on the board and join the fun. I had my surgery on May 3rd and feel like a different person already. I just had my three month check-up and other than low iron... things are going great.
I have lost 52 lbs. since surgery and 62 since the pre-op liquid diet. At some point, I will try to post a picture. I have so much fun looking at the before and after pics on this site. The surgery itself went without a hitch. However, I never dreamt it would as difficult as it was during the first week and a half following it.
But, I have done fairly well adjusting to real food. I can eat almost anything now, but have been extremely hesitant to add anything like beef. It is mostly chicken and tuna. I love hearing everyone else's experiences. I am looking forward to communicating regularly with you all.
Hi Maureen,
I too am just posting, I have been reading this site since pre-op. I had my surgery My 4, I too am down 52 lbs. I was a llittle discouraged today to notice I only lost 2 lbs in 10 days, I work out 3 days a week, maybe i hit a plateau? Anyhow, welcome to you- and me - and look forward to posting more often! You ALL are so great - and awesome! Keep up the great work! I have learned so much from the posting, thank you!
