1st Postop Visit
I went and saw one of my surgeons assistants today for my 1 week post-op followup appointment. All 5 of the incisions are healing nicely, and I was able to get rid of the last few straggling steristrips that were still holding on for dear life.. And they're happy with how I am progressing so far..
But the best part of all is that I weighed myself today. I had weighed myself the day before surgery (last Monday), so between then and now I've lost 12 lbs! Combined that with my presurgery weight loss, and I've lost 26 lbs all together! YAY! Obviously the liquid diet gets all the credit for the weight loss, but I'm just glad to be off to a good start.
I go back in 5 weeks for my first fill with the surgeon, and they tell me that they normally start off with 3 cc's and work up from there.

Outstanding! 
Glad it's going so well for you. The first weight loss is always exciting -- just don't expect that rate to continue. Slow and steady still wins the race.
