Topic: RE: It's official... the gallbladder is going....
I had gall bladder out before surgery and it was not as hard as the rny but still major surgery so you will have to take it easy.
I have my hernia repair on the 16 with dr haung and even that is major surgery and i cant do any lifting for six weeks. maybe with any luck he will let me go back to zumba in a couple of weeks but we will see. I will do what he tells me.
take care
you are doing great

6¼ pounds per week is fabulous!
BUT, I agree with you that it seems oddly slow even though it really isn't. I am 4½ months out and have lost 87 pounds since the surgery. I lost 15-20 between January 1 and the surgery, so 100+ pounds this year, so far.
Definitely shop at the last minute and TRY THING ON! I just bought some shorts I thought would fit and came home and they were two big. I returned them and bought 3 sizes smaller (I mean to get two sizes smaller but had a brain fog) and the new ones actually fit. It is so much more fun shopping when you get to buy a smaller size!

I know it sounds like a weird thing to celebrate, but I started with a BMI of almost 80, so I have gone from Super Super Morbidly Obese to Super Morbidly Obese down to "just" Morbidly Obese -- it's a start, right?
The only concerns right now that I have is that it sure seems like I can eat more than I did at first, but a lot of that may be my choice of foods. I confess that I am drinking 2/3 of my protein in favor of eating something I want to eat, like fresh raspberries or strawberries. I have been making a crock pot chicken dish with black beans and corn and I would prefer to eat the beans and corn to the chicken, yet it is the best I can come up with for meat.
I seem to tolerate small amounts of things like shrimp, lobster, salmon, beef . . . but not really pork yet.
I still usually only eat solid food twice a day, sometimes three, but two is more common. I am having an easier time getting the fluid in, so I don't always count anymore.
So all in all, things are going well :)
