Just had my 2 week post op check up with my wondeful surgeon Dr. Tobin Schnedier today. Had my staples removed and got my first weigh in. I'm down 30lbs - Yahoo!!! Had a hard time finding clothes to fit me today everything was too big- poor me - haha!! Now I'm moving onto stage 3 foods - can't wait to actually chew my food. Never thought I'd actually look forward to cottage cheese... Wow, what a great change in my lifestyle. I get a little depressed from time to time, but when I do I remind myself that food and lack of self-control got me where I am today, and self control will get me back to where I want to be. I'm off all diabetes and blood pressure medicines, in fact my bs was 116 last night - never been that low in years even with the medicine! I feel wonderful, and so blessed to have had such skilled surgeon, never once had any pain at all. Yeah, I'm a looser now and proud of it!
