I went to the doctor today

I had my first post op surgery appointment and it was great!!! I have lost 17 pounds since I had surgery 11 days ago and 23 pounds since my first visit with Dr.Olsen. I am pretty excited that I am finally losing.  I start on my 3rd stage Monday and I can`t wait to finally get to eat something. It has been forever! Well I just thought I would share my news with everyone.

Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing a great job!!

Thanks Telisha

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Thank you Marilyn

It's all worth it.  Now the fun begins.  Wait til you get to clean out your clauset and throw away some clothes!   What FUN. 

I'm so glad you shared you news!  It is FANTASTIC!!!!!  

I am so happy for you and your success!

Thanks Cathy and Amy

Yeah Yeah Yeah!! That is awesome....moving to stage 3 can be tricky....just go slow & listen to your body....you have a lot of time to heal & work through what works & what doesn't.  The first thing I ate on stage three was a scrambled egg.  We had a face-off. I just looked at it for about 10 minutes thinking that actually putting food into my body was going to result in some horrible catastrophe!!  I swallowed the first bite & just waited for the need to run to the bathroom to throw up.  Nope---I wasn't able to eat the entire egg, but I chewed about 1/2 of it into mush in my mouth & it stayed down.  I felt great after I ate it, too!  It was nice to finally eat something "real" again....

Good luck....take it slow & chew, chew, chew.....and then chew more---

CONGRATS!! YOU ARE DOING SO GREAT!!! xo, Micheala.

Yea I have been debating between eggs of tuna being my first solid food. I am sure ready to eat!!!
