How did your first month go Post-Surgery?

I just had my 4 week appointment with my doctor. I'm down 24lbs - from 231.5 to 207.5. I have not gotten sick once, and am currently eating fish and chicken. I have been working out but not as steadily as I would like, and have been getting in somewhere between 35 and 60 grams of protein a day. This has definitely been an emotional rollercoaster ride, with it's ups and downs but I'm happy that I made it through my first 30 days! How is everyone doing? How did your 2 or 4 week check up appointments go?

24 lbs........GREAT JOB!!!!! I'm doing great. Had my 2 week check up this past Wednesday & have lost 15 lbs. I just got the clearance to do more exercise so will be starting on a program shortly. I drink a protein drink first thing in the morning that has 35 grams of protein in it. My nutritionist wants me to try to drink at least another 1/2 of a can so I can get all my protein in. Haven't had any problems with any foods as of yet. My left side of my stomach was a little sore yesterday & this morning so I'm taking it easy today with only eating yogurt & sf pudding. I will keep an eye on that & call the doc if it persists. The only emotion I've been feeling so far is RELIEF.... Relief from the fact that food no longer controls me.... IT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING........... Good luck with everything & keep up the great work
