1 Month Post Op

So it turns out I was worried about nothing. My doc said I was doing really well and making good food choices. He advanced me to pureeds for 2 weeks, and then I can go to soft foods if I have had no problems. So for the drumroll....I've lost 30 lbs, 22.5 inches, 22% of my excess weight and my BMI went down from 41.9 to 37.7!! Pretty darn exciting. One thing I learned this month is that I'm going to try to stop looking at the day to day picture and start looking at the longterm. In a year, I'll be regular sized, if not thin! Gotta be excited about that. Beth 5'11" 301/271/160

Hi Beth, Congratulations. Keep up the great work. I am still having a problem with nausea and not able to eat or drink much. I am sure I will be one of the lucky ones with hair loss, mostly from malnutrition. I use to love water and now water even nauseates me. Sincerely. Annette

Hiya Annette, I am sorry you are still feeling naueous and stuff As for the hair thing, my hair is long and thin, so no matter how much I lose, it's gonna look awful. I think I may cut it to my shoulders or something. How are you feeling this week? Beth 301/267/160

Congratulations on the good news and your optimistic spirit! Keep it up!

Thanks Lisa! I see from your posts that you are very optomistic as well!! I hope you are doing GREAT!! Beth 301/267/160
