Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooo

1 week post op - had drains removed today and staples...all is good. Drain removal was a strange, grotesque experience. And.....ta da da daaaaaaaaaa...14 pound weight loss. And, I just had my first food...a boiled egg with cheese melted on top. Excellent for a person who hasn't eaten! I'm doing great. Thanks for everyone's support. Kim

Congrats Kim!!!! Great job on the weight loss and getting the drains and staples out. Must feel alot better. MMM boiled egg with cheese on top sounds good!! Keep up the great work and keep us posted -Sue 242/225/130

Congratulations. Keep up the hard work. I had my surgery 1-23-06. I see my Dr. tomorrow I hope I have done as well as you! Tell me how many Calories are you taking in per day? Lucy

Hi, Lucy. Calories....I just started eating solid foods today, the egg. I'm not sure what my calories are going to be. I'll let you know though. Kim

Lucky Ducky!! I had surgery on the 16th and I am going in tomorrow, the 31st to have my staples removed!! I had open. Patty

Congrats Kim, you are off to a great start. Keep up the good work. Carly

Kim, wonderful news and congratulations! You're obviously doing really well so keep it up. I go in tomorrow for my 1 week check and will have my stapes removed (they remove the drain before you leave the hospital). I feel like I haven't lost any weight, my stomach is so bloated. But, I'll hope for the best. Keep up the good work! Lisa

Thanks everyone for the support and well wishes. I've enjoyed OH very much. I was a little surprised at the fourteen pounds....and I'll take every bit of it. I've earned it! My best friend, Sandra, has changed her eating habits the same day that I had surgery. She says that she is doing well on her diet. I'm proud of it. She's doing it the old fashioned way, healthy eating and some exercise. She is about 140 pounds overweight so pass along a prayer or two for her in her journey. Thanks to all, Kim Being on the losing side is kinda cool.

Hi There Kim you 123r-Fabulous news...I go back in on the 8th of Feb.So glad to hear all is well..Patsy

Great loss!
