4 weeks post-op and -22lbs.

Good Morning Everyone!! Yesterday was 4 weeks post-op. I went to have my staples removed!! I was SOOOO happy to have those boogers out!! I have lost 22 lbs. Edith told me that was great!! Dr. Shina expects you to lose between a half and 1 pound a day. So, I'm right on track. I need to work on getting more liquids and they are changing my acid reflex medicine. I never had this problem before surgery but for some reason I do now. Oh well it will be fine. I still will be off work 2 more weeks. I will make it!! This has been the most serious, painful surgery I have ever had. But to have a healthier life and enjoy my family and hopefully to go on a mission trip IT IS WORTH IT!!! Blessings Tonya

You're doing great Tonya! I'm so glad for you. Honey anything that helps us feel better and in the long run be healthier is worth it. I am like 6 weeks out and I'm down 40 lbs. I hit a plateau and didn't lose anything for a week. I was depressed, then mother nature called for the first time in a year and a half. I thought I might die. I was miserable. Now its over and I can concentrate again on my goals. Good luck and God bless you!
