Question:
it's been a week and I feel great

Just wanted to drop a line to let everyone know how I'm doing. Things are going real well for me. I just have been doing everything the way the doctor has told me, and everything has been going great. I have been walking . I'm not going to push it just one step at a time. Just like one pound at a time As for eating it can be a drag at times cuz I'm eating cottage cheese, apple sause , sugar free jello & sugar free pudding. This Friday I go to the doctors, and my menu will grow a little more. It has been hard at times but when I get on the scale I'm happy I have already lost 10 pounds. I feel so great and I'm happy I did it. Theresa L    — theresa.lampkin (posted on July 6, 2009)

Hi Theresa! Congrats on the 10 pound loss!! I am new to the group but am excited to watch you drop the pounds! I went for my consultation last week and have just started my required 6 months of nutritional counseling as required by my insurance! I hope to have a victory report like yours really soon.

Hi! congrats ont he surgery and doing so well! Just follow the rules the clinic gave you and you'll do well. Start an exercise routine when you are approved and re educate yourself on what fuels the body..You don't want to go ack to eating the junk that made us all heavy...I am 1 year out, lost 120 lbs, weigh 118 and feel great..look pretty good in clothes too! lol {notice I say in clothes} Best of luck to you and congrats! hugs,kim

Doesn't that first 10 lbs off feel great. I remember how excited I was when I lost about 10 lbs my first week after surgery. It will keep coming off. I have my 3 month appointment today and I am down 54 lbs. I hope you have even better success. I found the Leslie Sanson Walk at Home exercise videos to be easy and fun to do. You can see them at some walmarts or at walkathome.com. They have helped in my weight loss journey. Your already doing so great and so good to hear you feel great.
