SibleyNP 12 Posted August 8, 2012 Well, I am post op day 5 and down 10 pounds. I was absolutely thrilled. I know some of the loss is Water loss, but it gives me the confidence that I can do this. Another milestone today, went and got groceries. For a year or more my ritual has been that after I get groceries, make a run through McDonalds. NOT today!! Drove right by !! This is the first of many more milestones to come. Soooo excited!! Miranda 3 ValleyGirlRN, Maddysgram and PattyGirl66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jen_1381 446 Posted August 8, 2012 It's funny you mention the McDonalds right after groceries. I would always go grocery shopping then pick up something quick for dinner...after I just BOUGHT food!! Made no sense to me, but it was habit. Congrats for bypassing the bad food!! I knew the first 10 lbs I dropped were Water weight, but it didn't matter...it was 10 lbs gone!! Feels good, right?

Rojasanoll 920 Posted August 10, 2012 Awesome! I go tomorrow. Great to hear you can shop already! I drove my car the next day and no issues. Went a drank Decaf coffee at my favorite place. I didn't let the surgery get me down. Just be smart and don't over do it! I went to a weight support meeting on Aug8 and the people were surprised I was only out less than 48 hours.
