City: Western State: MA | I lost 17 pounds this week!
Of course I was on all liquids but I also wonder if it's because of no wheat. I'm adding foods VERY slowly because I think I may have some allergies. I have been far less congested than normal. I tried 1 percemt Milk in my Carnation instant Breakfast no sugar and it went immediately through me so soy milk it is...
The dietician told me not to take my chewable fiber but I disobeyed her and cut the 2 tablets into 4 pieces each and ate them throughout the day and that gave me some relief and a 4 lb more loss. My only complaint is the itchiness of my incisions near my waistband . My energy is good and I feel almost normal except I'm eating FAR less than I would have.

My pants are baggy around the legs but the waistband is bugging my incisions so I can't tell if they are feeling smaller yet. My wedding ring is looser! I resisted getting it let out for 10 years, Now I'm glad! Of course I'm expecting my boobs to shrink before my enormous tummy! I haven't done measurements and need to!

kladybug- 17 pounds! That is wonderful.
I just tried on some pants since I am going to try to go to work tomorrow. I don't know how good they are going to feel on my tummy after a commute, 10 hour day, and then commute again. Yikes! I have lost 20.5 pounds between post op diet, and five days out from my surgery, but I still don't feel smaller. I guess the swollen stomach is probably stopping me from noticing some results. I have been wearing a night gown for the last few days since even my way to big sweats felt uncomfortable on my tummy.

Way to go! I can't wait to hear how the rest of you are doing! We should have a fat pant burning ceremony Mid-March!
I had my first post-op appointment today...I'm down 13 pounds since surgery and 18 total. I practically skipped out of that joint! However, told them I'm only at abotu 4-6 ozs and Dr told me I probably wouldn't need a fill next month. MY #$$! Fill that baby up!
I really must go to the store, DB has resorted to eating oatmeal for lunch today. Yes, I know he could have ate something else but didn't want to bring food into the house. Hey, I can't eat NOBOBY Eats!!!! lol
My jeans are loose and my suit pants are baggy.
MASHED POTATOES THURSDAY October 18th! :hungry:

Hi,
I had my surgery on the 8th of October. I am glad I had it done. I am still sore where my port is, but the rest of me is so itchy I can't stand it. I constantly have an ice pack on my belly. Today was my 1st day of mushies and I had mashed potatoes and oatmeal. Not bad. I hope the rest of you are doing well.
