Congrats. Just remember that the next month is for healing and the weight will slow down. I'm one month post op and I had nearly two weeks where nothing happened at all and I exercise everyday and watch my portions. You have a wonderful attitude. Keep it up

Good job!

Between my pre-op visit when I started my diet plan, and my 2 week follow-up I had lost almost 30 lbs. Since then, the losing rate has slowed down durastically. I'm doing everything by the doctors orders, and I know it will start coming off again soon, but in the mean time I have to remind myself that it just takes persistance and hard work.

Don't be alarmed if when you switch to puree then soft foods if you gain a couple pounds. My first day after puree I gained 4 lbs! It was just Water weight, but your body does go into a little bit of shock each time you step up your diet.

I'm 5 weeks post-op and overall have lost a grand total of 33 lbs since May 7th. On paper, I know I'm ahead of the losing game but my brain can't help but get a little dissapointed when the scale doesn't jump down every day like it was!!

That's where I am at.... down almost 32 pounds but not seeing the scale move at all. I am three weeks post op and doing what I am supposed to be doing.
