15 Pounds ... Gone FOREVER!!!!!
I had my surgery only 9 days ago and I am down 15 lbs. also. I feel that maybe I wasn't getting enough liquids in so I tried my best to up it and I am not losing as fast now...but that is probably better. It seemed odd that I was losing almost 3 lbs. a day at first. I am feeling wonderful, but I cannot wait to eat regular food again. It is so hard when my family eats dinner and all I can have is my liquids. I can start pureed foods on Saturday...only 2 more days!!!
I am realizing that it was almost an addiction that I had to food. It is really tough to overcome this, too. I think this 10 day liquid diet is really important to breaking my bad habits.
This time after surgery is so hard right now, but look at the results everyone is having. I have already had people noticing that my face looks thinner...it is such a great feeling! Good luck to everyone!!!

I am down 20 pound in one week. I am already on pureed. I started that on 3rd day at hospital. They say open surgery patients can eat sooner. Did you have open or lap.I get sick of my family flaunting food around me . My husband went out AND BOUGHT ICE CREAM flaunted it in front of me. I am just trying to look at the brighter side. My daughter and her 2 kids live here they made all fried food. She is big herself. I just wish they would be more better with their eating habits. My face looks thinner too. I am just not going to let all their bad habits set me back.
