3 Weeks Post Op

Hi everyone! I just wanted to send a message to let anyone interested know how I'm doing. I'm 3 weeks post op and doing well. I haven't had any problems with anything. Eating, water, vitamins, everything is going great so far. I feel normal aside from getting tired easily. I've gone out to eat a couple times, and I just order soup. It was a little depressing going out with people and watching everyone gulp down juicy steaks while I'm left sipping soup I don't even like. I don't let it get me down (though I do get frustrated a little while I'm staring at the steaks) because I know I won't be sucking on soup forever. I do hate soup so much. My clothes are looser, but not down any sizes yet. According to my scale, I'm down 25 pounds. Thanks! molly

MOLLY! Great Job on losing 25 pounds! You will be having steak again someday, and because you will be eating SO little of it, you will be getting the BEST there is...hey if we have to eat small quantities, we may as well order top quality! Habg in there and think about how much GOOD you are doing for your body! I started out at an ungodly high weight, so a lot of my clothes still "fit" even after 6 months...til my husband made me get rid of them, and I realize I am in about 10 sizes smaller!!! Whenever you think your weight loss is going slow, take your measurements! Have a great week!! Tracie

Way to go Molly.......25lbs in 3 weeks is amazing! And don't worry you only have like 3 weeks then you will be able to start eating food again! I know red meat we are supposed to wait like 6 months, but it was the ONLY meat I could tolerate! When nothing else worked I called and asked Deb or Nancy about trying beef and they said I could, but most people don't tolerate it and that is why it is on their no-no list......But sure enough I could eat hamburger, steak, roast, you name it! I still have problems sometimes with chicken! It is all so crazy I tell ya!!!! Well I am glad to hear you are doing so well, we will have to talk again real soon, so we can finally meet Take Care Jesi

Hi Molly Of course we're interested! WOW 25 in 3 weeks?! took me 2 months to lose 30!!! It's good you are getting out even if you can only have soup right now. Won't be long & you'll be eating "real" food. About the sizes, you are going to wake up one morning & NOTHING will fit you. Just hang in there, you are doing great Hugs Carolyn
