Half way to goal - 7 weeks post op
Hello All,
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I am 7 weeks post op today. I got on the scale and only lost 2.6 lbs from last week which was a little disappointing, but then I realized I am exactly half way to my goal and it only took 12 weeks.
That was a very exciting realization. Thought I'd share.
Have a geat day.
Brenda

Thank You,
I don't have any secrets. I started doing 2 meals protein shakes and only eating dinner 5 weeks presurgery and I did that for 3 weeks. Two weeks prior to surgery my Dr. puts his patients on a strict liquid diet. I lost 23 lbs pre surgery. I'm 2 months out today and have lost 37 more. I did develop a stricture so I have pretty much only been able to get down liquids for this whole time......not fun. So I would not wish for one. Follow your Dr's instructions and you'll do great. Good Luck with your surgery.
