jerryvic 3 Posted June 1, 2010 My bathroom scale is broken, so it was with trepidation that I went to my 2nd Post op (surgery 20 May 2010) appointment. After slowly getting on the scale (I think getting on slowly decreases the momentum of the scale), I was astonished to see I had lost a total of 20 lbs. Only having a one day pre-op diet, that wasn't too bad for 12 days. I jumped off the scales (I no longer cared about momentum). The best things (2) were:I got the staples out of my bellybutton and he has moved me to more solid foods, ie meatloaf, tuna, stuff like that. I will not miss all the Protein shakes. Damn, just when I thought I could tolerate them better. Keep on losing everybody.:crying: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dansha 16 Posted June 1, 2010 Kudos to you. I haven't had my surgery yet, but have lost 20 pounds on my own in the last 5 weeks and it feels GREAT. Kept up the good work b/c it's inspiration to the rest of us. Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
