6 week update

I am 6 weeks out from my sleeved date. I have lost a total of 32.2 lbs from the day of my surgery. I went from a size 24/26 top to a XL/L Top and a size 26/28 bottom to a 22 bottom. I would not change it for the world. I love to go shopping for clothes now. I have two more weeks of soft food. However, I do not see much changing when that two weeks is up. Maybe some more veggies.

I find it interesting that the little things make me so happy. For example, to be able to sit in a chair with arms without my legs rubbing the arms. I love it. I look forward to what God has in store for me every day.

Terri, 32 lbs in 6 wks is awesome, and a GREAT NSV re the chair thing. I know what you mean. One of the best early out things for me was being able to cross my legs. WAHOO baabee!!

Congratulations!!! You are doing awesome! im very happy for you.

We had surgey the same day. I also did not change too much after moving from soft foods. My doctor said I only had to do soft foods for 4 weeks, so once the 4 weeks were up I added some chicken, some vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers and a few crackers for my Tuna days. Other than that I still have the soups and mushies most of the time. Keep up the great work. Cant wait to see where we are at the 3 month mark!
