7 Weeks Post-Op Today! :-)
Seven weeks ago today, I had my VSG Surgery. I have lost 46.8 pounds as of today, 19.8 Pre-Op and 27 Post-Op. I lost 2.7 pounds this past week. FitBit tells me I have lost 40% of my excess weight! I have more NSVs to add to my growing list:
-Increased my walk from 2 miles to 3 miles (including 2 hills), with no pain in my legs, impossible for me to do before surgery.
For those of you in the first 2 to 3 weeks, post-op when time goes so slowly and you think that you will never get to eat real food...I want to encourage you...it does happen.
I am so very thankful I had this Surgery.

Congratulations! You're off to a wonderful start. That Fitbit can be very motivating, both my husband and I have one and some of our friends do too, so we're friends on the Fitbit site. Pretty fun so far.
