First Post-Op appointment
I had my first post-op appointment today. I've lost 14% of the weight I need too. That sounds impressive! I had lost about 30lbs on the LD. Then gained 24 of it back through the IV fluids they gave me in the Hospital. I had extra fluid given because of previous kidney issues. Now I've lost that 24 lbs (again) but still a little heavier before going into the hospital which is somewhat frustrating that I haven't lost any more but hey its only been 10 days. The best news is I get to move to FUL LIQUIDS!!!! So I'm going to try some tomato soup tonight!! I'm going to put some extra skim milk because the sugar content has me a little worried. AND while walking to my appointment I noticed I had to keep pulling up my pants!!! I might be ready for the next size next week! I'm going back to work next week I hate being home all day its a week early but I feel up to it.
Start 323 ~ Current 199 ~
congrats on the good visit and the weight loss. 14% is impressive. If you go back to work, consider going only PT for a few days to see how tired you get, that's what I did and I was so glad I did that.
Isn't it fun having to go down a size already?????
Enjoy!

Kathy, 14% that you will never see again!!! Keep up the great progress. I went back to work this week full time and my ass is draggin today. Kathy remember to follow your bible you got on wls, and keep the best positive attitude even when the weight loss slows. Look at the positives in every thing you do. You will find life to be full of adventures.

I'm not perfect but I am going to die trying!!!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
you are doing awesome-I gained a lot of weight from all the liquids in the hospital too, so I know how disappointing it is to not see that scale move right away-but never fear-you have lost inches already, and you WILL see the weight fall off. Take it easy and be sure to sip, walk, and REST-you are still healing!! best of luck,
