I'm home and dropping pounds

 Thanks to everyone for your messages and encouraging words! My surgery went well! I got away with two incisions instead of five!!!!
The first time I weighed my self was about 36 hours ago (215.8)  and then I just weighed myself again (209.4) and I have already lost 6.4 pounds since Thursday night!!!!!!!
I have heartburn like a beast and picking my son up hurts sometimes but seeing those pounds shed so quickly makes it all worth it!!

Thanks again everyone for your support!
HAVE AN EXCELLENT WEEKEND!!!!!

Welcome to the loser's bench Mary.  Good to hear that surgery is over and you are doing well.  Even better, only two incisions.   Cool.

Congrats of the start of the pounds slidding away.  Enjoy the ride.  Share often.  Do take care with lifting your son.

Have a wonderful weekend yourself.  Hugs

So happy to hear you are well! Please be careful lifting your son, don't want you pulling on things! I knew it is probably impossible not to lift him, but maybe try to find a method that takes less strain? Congrats on the rapid loss. You are gonna be one of the lucky ones to hit onederland very very soon! I bet you will be jumping for joy on that day! Ahhh the miracle of wls!
Sip sip sip take lots of little walks to prevent clots and focus on that protein. Rest up and heal well! Welcome to the losers bench!

Oh I too had and still have the heart burn, unlss i take my med for it. I use the generic for the over the counter prilosec. It works great! Just have to remmber to break it , cru**** or melt it so your tummy can break it down and make use of it. Your wls doc may even be able to give you a script for a liquid version.

Good for you Mary! Welcome to the losers bench!
