One month out and 32lbs lighter...

I just wanted to post an update on my progress so far...I went to Tijuana on December 10th and had surgery with Dr. Ponce de Leon and have lost 32lbs since starting my 5 day pre op diet (Dec. 5th)! I could not be happier and I am feeling pretty great. It takes some getting use to, not being able to eat the massive meals I ate before surgery. I still put way more on my plate than I can possibly eat. lol But it is so worth it, I feel sooo much better!

Yay Julie, I'm glad to hear your doing so good.  That first month is hard.  i guess cause your stomach is swelled and just learning the new way of eating.  Its definitely not easy.  You have lost a really good amount of weight already. that's awesome.  i have lost 38 so far.  I am impatient and want it to come off right now.lol  well I'm glad to hear your doing good!

Thanks Jeanette! I know the feeling! I want it off right now too! 38lbs is good, I know that it is going to start slowing down some now after the first month. If I can only keep myself off the scale every morning I should be good. lol  Have a great day!   Julie

Wowee, good for you!  That is fantastic work.  I hear you about eyes being bigger than our stomachs.
I am at 22 pounds and still going.
32 pounds is a huge loss!!!
Keep on going.
