What, 29lbs in 9 days Post Op.....?!?!?

I had my first post op Dr. visit today. In 9 days, that's including my preop office visit 2 days before surgery, I lost 29lbs...! The doctor said I was the second highest looser they have had with 31lbs being the highest. I have been walking 1 mile for the past few days trying not to push too hard. While in the hospital, I walked many laps down the hallway. WOW 29, I would have never have guest it..

That is fantastic!!! Yeah for you!! That's incredible. You are an inspiration.

Doing the happy dance right along with you Lee!! 29 pounds!! Wow!! Might I add, you have a beautiful family. I bet your wife is thrilled! Dawn

Congrats Lee, keep up the good work.

Thank you all. we shall see how it goes now that I have been cleared for soft foods...

Wooo Hooo! WTG, Lee! Does it feel as if you've lost 29lbs? Can you tell? Waistband loose? Keep up the awesome work! Chele

Things do fit differently but I can't tell by looking at me. I don't have much to go from. I hardly ever looked at myself from the waist down.. My wife and neighbor say they can see it in my face and my wife said she can also see it in my stomach..

Way to go Lee! That's awesome!!! Keep up the work! ((Hugs)) Jessie

hi: 29 lbs., how wonderful, you are doing great. i can't imagine walking a mile and I had my surgery on 1/20. How old are you, just curious, I am 58 and I think my energy is zapped for a little while, I plan on starting to go out to walk on Monday, keep up the fantastic work.

Hello there. I am a very 34. I have slowed down my walking. I am suffering from Gout. How, I have no idea why I would have it. I still have not eaten in 10 days. I have had it for the last 2 days but today it is in both feet. Talk about PAIN..! I have found some untapped energy and just want to get out there. Sure didnt have it before WLS.
