I'm very happy with my first months progress. I am down 20.6 lbs since surgery on June 2 and exactly 29 lbs since starting optifast.

I have hard days like everyone else I'm sure, but for the most part I am just so happy that my body is changing that I don't miss the things I can't eat. I'm super happy to be starting the soft food stage as pureed was getting really BLAH after 2 weeks.

I've had one issue with dumping, but it was a morning when I think I took too many meds all at once including milk of magnesia due to a back up of BMs, and it was quick, I felt better within an hour so that was ok in the sense that i learned from it.

thanks to all those who have inspired me with their journeys on these boards. Its such a great resource for the newbies like me.
