Surgery went well last Tuesday.  Was home on Wednesday and already dropped 20 pounds.  I know most of it is fluid but it feels good to finally be on the losing side.  Still sipping and getting in my walks!

wow @ back to work... in my head we are back in the 80's when any surgery would have us home on strict bedrest for 6 to 8 weeks....

congrats on being on the losers bench!!

Thanks! I have been wondering if I'm pushing it.

Yeah, I had to come back to work on day 7 due to someone else having emergency surgery in the office. Just don't pu**** Be very careful and drink plenty of fluids/proteins.
Congrats on the beginning of your new life. It is an amazing journey! Enjoy.

I think that is great that you have already lost 20lbs in one week! have my surgery this week (Wednesday) and I only lost about 10 lbs on the pre surgery diet, but that was all I was required to lose..right now I am at 195 and I am 5'3", .I was told by a friend that I will lose ALL of my bustline which is not really where I want to lose, I have high blood pressure and want to come off my meds, but most of my weight is around my midsection, I am hoping that because that is where I have the most weight (fat) that is what I will lose...Any body want to clarify if its true that I will lose my bustline? I am currently a 40C and dont particularly want to be flat chested.
