First FART

I had my H&P for surgery on Dec. 30 and surgery on Jan. 7th.  Had a liquid diet for the week prior to surger and of course, all the post-op diet since then.  I weighed in at 409# for the H&P and weighed in at home this morning at 359#.

50 lbs in a month is awesome!  congrats on your first fart...  there are many more to come I'm sure.

You've done very well.  Congratulations!  Continue to follow your post-op plan of proper eating, exercise, and plenty of water.  You will continue to lose weight rapidly for the first 6 mos post-op and then it will slow down.  We generally have a window of opportunity to lose most of our excess weight due to surgery during the 18 months post-op.  We can continue to lose past that point, but it will be at a much slower pace--like a "normal" person on a healthy diet.

Keep up the great work.  Most of all, feel good and enjoy the ride.

Wow.  That is a big jump.  I can't wait till your tail bone starts to hurt.  That means good things.

Good going Merlin!
