Off to a good start...

Hi gang! I just wanted to let you know, I'm down 23 lbs.... I've got such a long way to go, but this little bit in 2 weeks is so encouraging to me! Dr.Wynn said I was healing well and was pleased with my loss. I hope I can keep up the good work -- but I sure am hatin' the pureed stage... ((hugs)) Carla

23lbs!!!!!!!!!!! that is great!! i know this first stage is hard, but try and use it for the part of you that didn't have surgery....your brain. i was so addicted to food pre-op. it took me 4 months to realize how dependent i was and to fully grasp what my addiction did to my body. now instead of eating when i am bored i try and do other things. 23 pounds is a great start i'm sooooooooo happy for you!
