One Week Post Op and....

[CraftyChristie 62]

I have lost 18 pounds! 6 came off in the first day on liquids (before surgery) and 12 more this week. Amazing, can't hardly believe it. I already have said a long overdue goodbye to the 300's - went from 310 to 292 in just 8 days!!

Also my healing is going great - got my drain out today and I feel so much better. I've been walking 30 mins+ the past 3 days. Getting in all my Protein and all my Water. Today I got to eat some refried Beans... yay real food! I am already feeling my strength returning, and I just feel WONDERFUL! I am feeling more healthy already.:001_tongue:

Christie,

That is awesome news! Keep up the good work! The pre-sleevers out there like me need to keep hearing stories like yours to keep us motivated and confident during the pre-op process.

Keep us posted.

Awesome...to you girls that did the sleeve early on in your life..bravo to you! My surgery was May 18th..had the band 2 yrs. prior..of course that's another story in itself...had WLS been as abundant, acceptable, and the vast information out there.. .I would have wrapped myself around this years ago..
