FindingCarrie 244 Posted February 11, 2017 I am down 28 lbs since starting my pre-op diet. 17 of that 28 has been post-op. I lost in the 1st week post-op, and then didn't lose anything for 2 weeks straight. Then I lost 3 lbs this week! Funny how this all works. I have advanced from soft food to cooked veggies, to eggs and Beans, and now chicken and shrimp. I have tolerated each food really well. I am at the point that I am getting more than 1/2 of my daily Protein goals from real food. Still have some minor discomfort at my incision sites, but for the most part, back to normal. Can't wait to get approval to get back to working out. As promised in my last post, I am attaching a photo of my incisions.Barely noticeable already!Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App 13 lauralee68, LilDebbie, MaggieMay1054 and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msjessy323 184 Posted February 11, 2017 Are you putting any cream in the area Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missrossina 5 Posted February 12, 2017 Your incisions look so good. Barely there. Mine are very noticeable at 8 months post op, but is the way my body "handles" scars. Mine are always bad. You are doing great with your weight loss. Sent from my SM-J700M using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FindingCarrie 244 Posted February 12, 2017 @"msjessy323", I am not using any cream yet. I am waiting for my 1 month follow up with my doctor before putting anything on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FindingCarrie 244 Posted February 12, 2017 @"Yvette804", my surgery was on 1/17. I had a 2 week stall after surgery, so I was expecting to have lost more by now, but I am happy with where I am. Losing faster than I ever have on any of the many of programs I tried before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yvette804 43 Posted February 12, 2017 @"FindingCare", Yeah I agree. So far I've lost 32.6 lbs. How much are you losing in a week?Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FindingCarrie 244 Posted February 12, 2017 In the beginning, I lost 11 lbs in the 1 week pre-op. Then 7 the week after surgery. Then another 3 the following week, then a stall. Now this week, I have lost 3 lbs. I started at a relatively low re BMI, so I am not expecting to lose super fast. That being said, I am only 89 lbs from my goal weight as of today!
