1 week post op visit
I have to admit I was a bit deflated when I saw I had only lost three pounds. I dunno I figured I would have lost more than that. The dr says that's normal though. My incisions are healing great he says and I go back in five weeks. The best part is....I am at the soft food stage. Man I'm telling ya that egg this morning was heavenly!!! I learned today what it means to be full since I don't have any sensation of that at all. The nurse said when I feel like I have food in my throat, you know...at the hollow part in your neck...she said that means I'm full, that maybe I ate a bit too much. Anywho, other than the weight it was a great visit, very positive.
Soft foods stage....here I come!

Sounds like a good report. Rock on!

it was weeks before I could eat a whole egg so don't pu**** Too much is very uncomfortable.
Don't worry about the 3 lbs. They pumped you full of IV fluids in the hospital and you had to lose those too, so 3 lbs is great. I was also very swollen and so I felt huge. It does go away, along with the weight. Keep with the program and you will be fine.
