I had my one month post op dr visit. I am now 213lbs. 32lbs gone! I went shopping for shorts since I only had 2 pairs and one was seriously too big. Anyway I skipped a size, at kohls I went from a womens 20 to 16 and at avenue I went from a 18 to 14. So that will be my last trip into a fat ladies store! they dont make them any smaller. I feel good, so far the only thing I can not eat is baked potato. It did not want to go down and then came back up.

So its been 3 weeks. I have been about 217 for almost a week. I am not worried, I have read enough profiles on here to know that weight falls off fast but then starts to slow. I am still not getting enough protein. I have tried some fruit and have done well. I still try not to pick up anything or bend to the floor too much. I will get pain from my largest incision if I do. Next month my Mom and I are going to join a gym. I started out at a tight size 20 and I am now an 18. My waist seems to be about the same size but I have lost alot in my butt and legs. I can now wear my wedding rings again. I finally had a day at work with no pain but I did alot and came home and slept for 5 hours.

2 weeks went real quick. I did not want to go back to work. Plus I manage a restaurant. I made it about 5 hours on Monday and today I managed a full 8 hours. But I drove home and went right to sleep after each day. I have lost 28lbs in 2 weeks 1 day. I am not drinking my protein and my vitamins seem to get stuck. I eat mostly yogurt and tuna. I do eat some chicken but I have to chew it real well. I had grilled salmon too. oh yeah and scambled eggs. I seem to always have a bad after taste and water just doesn't seem to make it go away.

I got my staples out yesterday. I really could not stand them! I have lost 24lbs in a week and a half. I get to eat soft foods now. I cant wait.
