Hi, Kathryn. Just read your updated profile! Congrats on the nice loss! WOW! You are doing great! I'm a patient of Dr. Fang's as well and am 15-days post-op. I feel great - just am tired of the full liquids, but am doing good. It's great to see your success and how well you are doing! Yay!! I worry about being able to eat meat down the road. I LOVE meat, so we'll see how it goes. Chewing is key, you are right there, but some people post-op can't tolerate it. Anyway, congrats on your success so far! Keep up the good work! God Bless ya!
