21 lbs lost in the last 3 weeks

I had surgery on 12/29 and finally made it to my 2-week post-op appt, a week late due to the flu. I'm down 21 lbs from surgery, so things are going great.

It took me one full week to feel good again, although the first week was manageable. It was like flipping a switch. I'm having normal BMs and my doc approved me to start doing whatever physical activities I want, and soft meats such as fish, etc. My incisions also look great and are healing quite well.

It's important to really research your physicians and clinic. I started at another large place when I was considering getting lap band in late 2013. I didn't feel comfortable with them in the end. I decided to see the doctor who ultimately performed my surgery and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend him (Houston, TX).

Congrats on getting off to such a great start, even if it did involve catching the flu. I too am looking to get the flu, maybe I can drop these last 6 lbs. (just kidding )

Things will get better. You can do it. You can change. Move forward today, one small, but significant step at a time.
