18 pounds in a week !!!!

Hello all this is joe and i had my ROUX EN Y last thursday. I'm very happy so far everything has went smoothly and No complications thus far. Today i went out and bought a digital scale. When i went in to the hospital i weighed 284 and one week from surgery i"m down to 266 wtf? That is so awesome, I feel so great already, i can't wait to experience all the great things that this journey will bring my way. I felt so great that i thought i'd share it with all my oh family. Have a great day all!!!   

Joe you ROCK! That's awesome!

OMG JOE, thats wonderful!!! You are on the right track.. WOW, good for u. I love to see people be successful, enjoy a happy full life man.. U need to send some pics!!!  :)

Glad to hear that everything is going smoothly- keep up the hard work!!

Pretty impressive, Joe!  The nurse practitioner that works with my surgeon was telling me that in the last 3 pre-op days (having to be on liquid diet), I will lose anywhere from 5-15 pounds.  She said by the time they see me at 2 weeks post op, the weight loss is usually between 15-30 pounds just from surgery day (not including the pre-op liquid diet).  It is totally mindblowing!!

How are you feeling through the healing process?

That's great. Congratulations. I think that compares with my first week as well. And the pounds just seem to melt away like butta!
