Is This Real Life?

Just had my 2 week post op checkup. I am down 19 pounds since the surgery, for an overall total of 30 since January 1st. I have been cleared for cardio and water aerobics, and can begin puréed foods tonight!

Part of me feels like weeping with joy. I never could have imagined losing this kind of weight before. It just feels so surreal!

Congrats on the lost! I also lost about the same amount since January 1st. I hit my first stall last week but today it started moving again.

Woohoo! Keep up the great momentum! And, hey! You may not stall at 3 weeks. I didn't stall until several months in. Just keep plugging along with your protein and water! They are the absolute KEY!

Congrats, that is awesome! I also had my 2 week post op today and have lost 12 pounds since the surgery. It is an incredible feeling to see the scale dropping and feel just so good! Life is about to get exciting around here!
