8 days post op and...

feeling really good! The first couple of days at home were difficult, then Thursday I dealt with horrible gas pain ...no more eggs for me for a while. But today I feel like I'm getting a good grip on this whole diet and exercise thing. I had all of my required protein early in the day and I'm finishing up with the fluids now. I'm walking on the treadmill, its a little slow but I know it will get better every day. The first few days I did question myself on why I did this, but today I feel completely different. I think I can really do this and be happy!! I weighed myself for the first time yesterday and according to my scales I'm down 12 lbs., but I just don't believe it. I mean, 12 lbs. in one week, that's I have my first post-op appt. on Feb. 6 and I will go by their scales. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Take care, Denise

Yipee!!! I'm so glad you're doing so well, but then, I knew you would. At my first appt post op, I lost 11lbs. Don't forget the weight from all the fluids. So...if you've already lost 12 lbs, you're REALLY on your way!!! Take care, Susan

Hi Denise, I'm so glad you are doing well! Congrats on your loss!!! It's an awesome thing. Be sure to take LOTS of pictures and journal about your journey every day. Before you know it you'll start seeing the transformation and the new you! Hugs, Cathi

Denise, that is good news. Everyday you will get stronger and feel better and the more weight that comes off, the better you will feel. I'm so happy you are doing so well.
