Hi ... Well, 1 week post op. Saw Dr. Higa today. I only lost 8 pounds which really bummed me out. But, he explained that he had to do MAJOR reconstructive hernia repair, which slows up the metablolism while recovering from that. So 8 pounds is good. At least I get to enjoy some mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. I forgot to ask if I can have gravy??? But I think a little won't hurt? Feeling really down today. I guess I need to just rest, and look forward to more weight loss after the healing of the hernia repair. (It was a rather large mess, he said). Thanks Celest for the message. It was very much needed on this day.
