1st Week Post-Op

I had my first weigh-in today and I lost a cool 13 lbs.. I was like wow! Soo excited..

I updated my tickler but it doesnt seem to update in the signature humm..

Great Job! I'm 2 weeks out and just reached 13 lost today also ,so you are way ahead of me

I am right there with you...down 11 lbs and doing great and actually feeling really good...out all day yesterday...went out for Asian food...had Egg Drop soup..(OK per Dr)taste soooooo good..brought some home..just a little change from the boring shakes and protein drinks....luck to us all on the journey.

I am schedule for surgery on 5/25. I am trying to fill out my leave request sheet. I was wondering how long did you take off from work. Do you feel 2 weeks is plenty of time if I have a desk job ? Just curious.

I HAD SURGERY 4/6 MY DR LET ME COOME BACK TO WORK ON 5/2. I HAVE A DESK JOB AS WELL. HE SAID HE PREFERRED 3 WEEKS TO GIVE YOU & YOUR NEW BODY TIME TO AJUST

How do you feel LenaKay?

And also you have to get adjusted to the new way of eatting so being home is best..

FEELING PRETTY GOOD, STILL TRYING TO GET ALL THE PROTEIN IN. & FLUIDS

Yeah see thats an issue with me too.. The protein drinks I drink have 30 G of protein I try to drink two a day.. I guess the rest will come with my meals.. I have to have at least 70 a day..

I HAVE MY 4 WK  FOLLOWUP TOMORROW, SO I AM SLOWLY INTRODUCING REGULAR FOODS. THAT IS MAKING IT EVEN MORE INTERESTING. I AM STILL HAVING A PROTEIN SHAKE FOR BREAKFAST (32G) BUT AM STILL HAVING TROUBLE HITTING THAT 80 G MARK
 AND CONGRATS ON THE  WEIGHT, i WEIGHED MONDAY AND HAVE LOST 20 SINCE SURGERY.  HAVEN'T WEIGHED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. MOTHER NATURE IS ABOUT TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE AND I DON'T WANT TO GET DISCOURAGED
