1st post-op check-up

Well everyone, I seen the doc this week and got the results of the bloodwork. I am down 25 pounds, I am low on iron and protein and I am dehydriated! I expected the dehydration and the low iron and to be honest I expected the protein. What I did not expect was only the 25 pounds. I thought I had lost more. Oh well, there is always next month.

Tanya... you are doing fine on the weight. I had surgery the same time as you and I am down 27 pounds. I am averaging 3 pounds per week and am happy because before, if I lost 1 pound a week I jumped for joy. Get the protein in, it does help. I am living on protein shakes, because I certainly do not eat enough during the day . Good luck!

Yippeee.... I have found others with my same weight loss. I am down 25 lbs. as of today and my surgery was on 10/23. It's tough to see losses of 45lbs! I'm excited for everyone and their losses, but it's still tough. We will get there too. Jackie

Congrats on your 25 pound loss! Sounds and must feel GREAT!

Thank you all for making me feel better ! Tanya
