9 days post op and feeling fantastic

Well this is my first post. On surgery day 9/25/06 found out that I had lost 65 Lbs since my surgeon visit. WOW. I know that I am losing fast now, just dont know how much until I see my surgeon on the 12th. I miss solids, even pureed. Haven't got the ok to go to puree yet but soon I hope. I think my first puree is going to sound strange but it is something i am craving....mashed potatoe and meat loaf. Will let you all know how that goes..LOL...But havent needed insulin in 3 days blood sugar staying below 140 rate even after eating a bowl of tomatoe soup. Yeah maybe no more shots. Later everyone

glad to hear u r feeling great i actually read this post earlier and u know all day ive been thinking of them meatloaf and tatoes....*lol* i cant wait till i can have them...hehe

Kenneth, Congratulations on not needing insulin anymore. I am down to 22 units/day from over 100 units/day. I still take 500mg. of Glucophage twice a day. Since my surgery date of 9/06/06, I have lost 24 lbs. So, Patti, if you read this, you aren't the slowest loser. I'm not worried, though. I lost 10 lbs. since I started the surgeon's weight loss program in Feb. and I lost 10 lbs. on the fast 1 week prior to surgery. We were only allowed Carnation Instant Breakfast and clear liquids 1 week prior to our surgery date. Good luck and keep it up, you're doing great! G. Beiler
