Hi all, This is my very first post. I just found this site about a hour ago. I had my surgery on Aug.19th, a few days short of 3 weeks. I started pureed foods on the Tuesday the 24th and it took about a week to get my energy back. The week before surgery and day one of my liquid diet I was 241. The day of surgery 230 and today 225. So Since my surgery 5lbs. I am so worried. I am happy to see the decrease but I read about all these people that drop large numbers at the beginning. I have 4.5 cc's. I don't go back to see the Dr. until September 24th. I am walking about 30 minutes every other day. I have not been sick once. I may have felt stuck once but other than that, I don't feel any different. But I have stuck by all the rules in regards to eating and drinking and this may be why I have not felt ill or stuck. I am trying not to be impatient but I am really worried that I will be one of the few out of millions that fail. Gee 5lbs in almost 3 weeks?
