first dr. appt. after surgery

Hi all! I have my first dr. appointment tomorrow. According to my scale I have lost 27 pounds since Nov. 3rd. I can't believe that it has almost been a month!! I am still a little sore. I am so happy for Kim---not having much pain! I had a lot of pain for about 3 days. People are starting to notice the weight loss---about 5 different people made comments at work today! I even have a pair of pants my kids told me not to wear any more---they were too big! Being told to not wear something because it is too big is sooo exciting. I have just started eating real food today. It will be 4 weeks on Thur. that I had the surgery. I am chewing everything really really well. I am not going too fast am I? So far I have not had any problem with anything that I have added new. On Thanksgiving I had my first and hope only dumping--I went to Safeway to get some things and saw the coffee stand--I thought vinalla steamer---milk, vanilla should be ok. Well, it was not!! I was sick for about 45 min. I tell you for Thanksgiving all I had was some blended peaches and mashed potatoes, and later a protine shake. Odetta

Wow! Congratulations on your excellent weight loss! I'm at 2 weeks tomorrow and I'm down 15 lbs. Isn't it fun to wear clothes that used to be tight? I wore a nice winter suit I haven't been in for over a year. It was great! I don't think people notice my weight loss yet, but I sure do. I measured too and lost a BUNCH of inches everywhere. So you experienced dumping. I haven't yet. I'm almost afraid to try certain things because I don't want to dump. Things have been going so well for me, I don't want to do anything to upset that. Check in after your dr. appt. and let us know how it went.
