That's amazing that you've lost that much since your surgery. I had surgery the day before you and I'm only down 29. What are you eating, drinking, excersizing?

My original wt is actually from 2 wks prior. My surgeon requires clear liquids for a total of 4 wks, so that's what melted away most of the lbs!
