WOW - 12 Days Post and down 28.7lbs!!!!!

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to post my exciting news. I went on Monday for my post-Op appointment. I had to get the G-tube out and had my very first weigh in since surgery. Well, in 12 days I lost 28.7 lbs!!!! Can you believe it? What a wonderful start! I am addicted to losing weight now! I can absolutely say it feels like it was all worth it now!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! I'm so proud for you!! 1 more day for me and I'll be on my way.... keep up the good work and positive attitude. Warm Hugs, Miranda

Hi Tiffany. Congratulations! I had surgery on 10/19 and I have gained 3 lbs! I have heard it is common to gain some weight, but I am still so swollen and bloated that it is hard to deal with not losing anything and even gaining! :o( I guess this too shall pass but I wish I at least felt better. Keep up the good wor****ep us posed - loser! Rachella

Congrats! Excellent job!! I had open on 10/21/04 and am down 17 lbs today. When did you start feeling better. I am still pretty sore and not really walking much. Also having problems with finding things to eat. Usually I eat sf jello, sf popcicle, chicken broth and thats about it. I did try a sample of matrix chocolate protein drink and it wasnt to bad. Any suggestions?

Awesome! You deserve a standing ovation! I am 9 days post and have lost 12 lbs. I am totally addicted as well - I started exercising 3 days ago - just the treadmill as of yet but I will get to more in the next week or so - just want to not rush though I feel like I could run a marathon - thats how excited and motivated I am. The one thing I am missing is swimming - I normally swim everyday and I am tired of looking out at the water and not being able to get in. Maybe today I will put on my sure to be loose swimsuit and sit on the edge and put my feet in and get some sun. Great going - keep posting - its great to hear of everyones successes and to be able to give word of hope to those whom need it. Best, Margaret
