3.5 Weeks Post Op

[FindingCarrie 244]

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!

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.

Congrats, what day did you have the VSG? I had mine on January 23 and my loss is similar to yours.

@"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.

@"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.

@"FindingCare", Yeah I agree. So far I've lost 32.6 lbs. How much are you losing in a week?

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! [emoji2]
