Two weeks after inital weigh in & week and a half post-op

Jan 03, 2009

Wed 12/31

I went in for "1 week" post-op today.  Everything went real well.  Weighed in at 268.7 lbs, which puts me at 16.6 lb weight loss in the 2 weeks since my initial weigh in. (WOO! HOO!  ) You know, the one they do just before you start the liquid diet on a normal stomach.

Both the doctor and the nurse were very impressed.  The doctor kept reminding me that this was not typical and to not be surprised if things taper off.

I have dropped a pant size from that weight loss.  (YEAH!!!)     Luckily for some reason, I was a pack rat with pants as I progressed up through the sizes and I have clothes to shrink into for the first 4 sizes as I progress through my changes.  I'm not a pack rat normally but for some reason, I kept my pants and some shirts as I grew out of them.  Now I'm so glad. 

I go back in 6 weeks to see the surgeon again for a check up and we'll determine if I need my first fill at that point or wait.
