HOME FROM DR APPOINTMENT

Ok May I have a drum roll please??????????????????????????????????????????? Ok first I saw the nut and got my new diet for the next month. I can have soft foods!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg yes I can have real food again!!!!!!!!! Ok then after that I got to see the Dr. He told me my incisions looked great and asked how I was feeling...Told him like a million bucks!!! He said great!!!! Then he asked me what solid food I tried since surgery. I told him none!!! He said really??? I said yes because it wasn't on my sheet of protein drinks....And he said wow!!! I was the first one that hadn't tried any solid food before it was time!!!! I asked him if he weighed that chunk of fat that he took out of my chest and he said no. But it was 6 mm!!!! Wow!!! That is about the size of a grapefruit and a melon!!!! He said it was like taking out a baby!!!!! Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I was weighed in........................... And here goes.............................. Are you ready for this???? Are you sure?????????????? I am now down to 297 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lost 12 pounds since the 17th and grand total since July 37 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yahooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! And I am sitting here eating some clam chowder soup!!! Yeah real soup!!!!! Omg I think I died and went to heaven!!!!!! Love you all and great big hugs to all of you!!!! Judy

Good Job Judy, I am so proud of you. See I told you that real food was right around the corner. It feels really good to eat something with texture. Well congrats on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. Amy

Thanks Patricia!!!!

Hi Judy, I was waiting to see how your Dr's visit went. WOW!!! I'm so excited for you. Congrats. I went to my one week post-op visit as well. I'm down 11 lbs from 221 to 210. Yes! And I went out to Cheddar's with my husband afterwards for some food. I was craving some clam chowder soup but ended up having potato soup Very good! It was so nice to have real food with flavor. I took my sweet long time because one of my biggest fears is throwing up. So there's no way that I'm not going to follow my Dr's instructions. So are you going to have dessert tonight? I went to WalMart after dinner to get some creamy soups and jello and pudding. I'm going to indulge in a cup of chocolate pudding. Cusi

Wow!! Sounds like we are doing about the same on the loss huh....Woohooo!!!!!! Have to laugh here seems everyone wanted clam chowder to eat when they could eat real food!!!! I took my sweet time eating also...I don't want to barf either!!! Yeah follow the dr's instructions and there should be no problems at all!!! I was thinking maybe some pudding. Sounds good right now to me. Congrats on your loss!!! Hugs Judy

That is awesome Judy! Congrats! I have my first Dr. Appointment Thursday. I am so looking forward to food, I could spit fire!!! I will post my weight loss later! Basque in the glory of being on the losers bench!!!
