I am about 4 weeks out and I don't feel like I'm losing...my first post op appt I had lost 21 pounds...is that good???? I feel like I should be losing more... I get to start eating in 2 days and I'm kind of worried about that....

Is that good??!! Girl, you're down 21 pounds in 4 weeks. That's over 5 pounds per week. When have you ever lost so much weight before, AND with the confidence that it's gone for good, not just until the eventual bingeing that certainly always follows severe food restriction. So yeah, I'd say you're doing FANTASTIC!!!

As far as when you start eating -- follow your doctor's recommendations as far as protein and caloric requirements. Follow those recommendations like your life depends on it (oh, yeah - it does!!). You'll do great.

Congratulations!

I'm only 2 wks & 2 days out & I'm to start mushies and I feel I can eat a whole lot more. I'm scared to start eatting too because I'm afraid it will bring cravings back & all the hard work will have been for nothing. I get a fill Nov. 6th and can't wait.
