I'm back....

HI all..........I had my surgery on the 31st of may. I stayed in Tacoma for a week because we live so far away. Week check up was great lost 9 lbs. so that is 18 lbs. in 18 days. (had to do 10 days of clear liquid before surgery and now 3 weeks of clear liquids) Feeling great and just taking it easy to recover from the surgery. Nice to be home...Tacoma is great but too many trees I am used to open spaces.

Welcome to the Banded Gentry Rae! Great work on the weight loss, wow!

Oh my gawd, I have to laugh because I don't think Tacoma has many trees at all! I remember what it was like around here when I was a little girl and feel like there are hardly any trees left!

Heh, I spend 9 months a year in exile in your neck of the woods Rae, and I have to laugh and laugh. My DH and I took a drive through the Carriboo National Forest in SE ID and we were confused because we couldn't find a forest....

Good Luck Jenn........will be waiting to here how you do. The clear liquid was harder before surgery than after for me. I still do not feel hungry and just started the Protein Shakes twice a day. I have my 6 weeks check up in July and will get my first fill then.

Well done, Rae! Glad to hear you are recovering well! That's so funny about the trees. How could you not love trees?! And lots of them? I'm in NC though, so I'm used to a bit of lush green and Pine Trees, my word, the Pine Trees! I guess you'd hate it here, haha! Anyway, Congratulations!!
