Feeling Good!

So I am about 10 days post op and just had a follow up w/ my surgeon! I know the beginning isnt about losing but boy did my mouth drop when he told me I had already lost 17lbs!!!! This liquid diet is killing me but he reccomends I stay on it just a litl longer and I think that was just the motivation I needed to do it!!!! I think im gonna be fighting the good fight!

Sure would make me want to stay on liquids. Keep up the good work

Excellent!  Don't let anyone fool you.  Though the focus SHOULD be on healing in the first 6 weeks.  We are ALL interested in losing, or we would not have had WLS.  Good for you.  There's nothing like a little motivation.  Work it girl!

Thank you

Congrats!  You're off to an awesome start.  Listen to your Dr. and stay on liquids until he clears you for mushies.  I know it's hard, but I had to do liquids for 3 weeks post op and I survived! 

This healing stage is really, really important so hang in there!

Best~

Congratulations!  I'm about 10 days out too!  You did way better than me.  I went to the Dr. yesterday and was 10 pounds down.  I was very happy with that!  I'm so ready for the mushy stage.  This is an exciting time for us!

It definitely is... I am just anxiously awaiting what is to come from this :-)
