New to the forum and recent Gastric Bypass

[Fredmeister 11]

Hello, I was a long time lurker before my surgery and finally decided to join. Had my Gastric Bypass on 7/14/17 and so far so good. Definitely looking forward to Monday when I can start the puree part of the diet and finally have some food with "taste" lol. In 2014 I weighed 415 pounds and my doctor mentioned the option of WLS which at first scared me to death. After a while I decided it was the right thing to do for myself to get back in shape. I weighed 389 at the start of my 10 day pre-op diet, lost approx 25 pounds and weighed 366 on surgery day. Went to my family doc's yesterday and weighed in at 353.5 which is exciting. The shrinking has begun! lol
