Lolita 1 Posted April 18, 2012 I had my first post op visit today and I can't even believe I lost 24 pounds in 8 days. OMG! The good thing is that I really needed something positive to hear, because I have been feeling like this maybe was a mistake. I keep telling myself this is a new healthier lifestyle that I needed. I encourage everyone to take it a day at a time. I don't think dwelling on the past or anticipating the future will do any good. Day by day is my motto.
