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.
