Two Week Appointment Results...(Ya'll might wanna sit down for this one)
I was so excited going in today for my two week consult. When I stepped on the scales I about teared up. After 4 days of pre-op liquids, and 14 more days of the post op liquid diet I have lost a whopping 45 pounds. I am at a loss for words I am so happy. Dr.Gorospe said my incisions are healing wonderfully and he couldnt ask for me to be doing better. Now I just need to start getting my protein in cause i have really been lacking on it. I go back in a month for blood work to see if I have any malnutrition. I am going to go dance in the streets now.

Congratulations Dan!!! You are doing a GREAT job. It won't be long before you can move on to soft foods but don't over do it at first. I can't wait to see a new avatar showing your big loss. Take care of yourself and keep up the great work. It won't be long before you have one of those gold century cards.
Have a great weekend!!!
