I am now after 4 1/2 weeks down 40 pounds and feel great because my meds are down to almost nothing. I went back to work yesterday and it went well but was ready for a nap at 3pm. Glad I wasn't driving though as the drive is 45 minutes....got home and was in bed by 7:15 and asleep soon after. Back at work today and still feel good.

I had the surgery and all went well. Home in 3 days. I went for my first followup yesterday and was able to report that I am now down to 1/4 of the medications that I was on prior to the surgery for various illnesses and I have lost 23 pounds. I feel great and will start the gym today....and water aerobics on Saturday!!!!!!!!! AndI got to eat food that I could chew yesterday....what a day

I started the pre-surgery diet on Friday....this is so hard! Working in an environment where everyone is eating all the time is killing me but I only have to last until this Friday...then Surgery on Monday!
