Almost 2 weeks post op and am seeing results!!!

I had surgery on 4/8 and I am almost 2 weeks post op and had my follow up check up done today and I can say goodbye to the liquid diet and can start eating oatmeal, eggs, mashed potatoes,  sf pudding, sf yoguart,  an of course keep sipping my liquids in between meals and throughout the day.  The most exciting part is *drum roll* I have lost 18 pounds!!!! I am so excited!!!!  But the scariest question is, is that too little to have lost in almost 2 weeks?

that's fantastic. My wife is almost 3 weeks out and she lost 23.  I would say you guys are right on track!  :)

Congrats on moving to the soft food stage and the great loss, Woot Woot!

My surgery was 4/4/13 and my follow up with surgeon /nutritionist is next Tuesday. I hope they give me the green light to move to soft/puréed foods.  

Great job!

That's wonderful!  I think 18 lbs is great.  I had the same surgery date as you, don't know yet how much I've lost - gained 10 lbs in hospital from all the fluids they pump into you.

But I would be more than thrilled with 18 lbs!  Congratulations!

Congrats to you all! I am happy for each of you. Remember to keep drinking fluids and protein, taking your vitamins (when allowed) and walk. Good luck! 

Great job!  I had my post op appt today too.  I had my surgery on 4/9 and have also lost 18 pounds.  Yay for both of us!!!! 

That is awesome!  I had my surgery on 4/2 gained 15lbs in the hospital from the fluids and all...have lost the fluid and 15 lbs...so we are all right on track...very very good!
