Had my one month check-up today

Actually it's been 6 weeks since surgery, but they couldn't get me in sooner because of the Doctor being on vacation. Anyway, she said I'm doing very well, I've lost 16% of my excess body weight and 48lb. She OK'd me to eat anything I can tolerate, so I got my first two bites of salad today, and boy did it taste good! One thing that surprised me was she doesn't want me to drink anymore protein drinks, wants me to get it all from food now. She said they've found that after 4 weeks your body gets lazy and slows your metabolism so you don't loose as fast if you continue using the drinks for your protein source. I still have to go back to the hospital Friday so they can scope me again to see about my stricture, but this time it'll be a piece of cake I'm sure. Hope everyone else is doing well! Janet
