update on me

Hey everybody, Went for my 2wk post op visit on Tuesday and I had lost 14.5 lbs. I got on the scale today and have dropped another 5 since then. I thought I was seeing it wrong so I did it again and it still said 5 more lbs. After the 5th time I was finally convinced. How is that possible? Anyways, I am doing good. Finally able to move on to pureed diet and am able to get more protien in. Still having problems with the fluids, but getting better everyday. I finally made it up to two miles on the track today and was very excited about that. Sheri

hi sheri, our surgery was the same day, it looks like our loss is the same also! unbelievable! i can't do the pureed thing until next week. funny how drs. are so different, it is very hard to get protien in, i am averaging about 50 grms. daily (most) just wanted to say hi and best wishes!

You sound like you are doing wonderful! Congrats on your success...just image there's more to come. Wow, can't wait to be in your shoes.

Super Fantastic!!!!! Don't worry so much, you will have drops like that, seems like your body does a little rearrainging, then boom down you go again. Three times I thought I was at the size I was going to be, first 16, then 14, now 12, and each time when I bought enough pants to wear to work, down I went! Now the 12's are a bit big in the waist and I am wearing men's jeans cause they are slimmer cut. Never in a million years did I think that would happen. So hang on, your body is going into high gear, just eat what you can, concentrate on protein, take your vitamins and calcium cause you will lose hair in the 5th month. But you will be looking great very very soon! Smiles, Cheryl
