I thought I'd throw this out there for those who are upset that they aren't losing as fast as they thought and are depressed when comparing themselves to other's phenomenal weight losses....I read those posts all the time. So if you HAVE to compare yourself to others, compare to me! I am 17 days out and have only lost 3 pounds since surgery! But am I bummed? No. I know this process will work. It can't not work. I'm actually glad I'm losing slowly since I have a family history of gallbladder problems and the slower I lose, the better my chances of avoiding a second surgery. FYI, Overall, I have lost 25 pounds but 22 were on my preop diet.
I start my puréed stage tomorrow and I'll be dreaming of mashed potatoes tonight! On the non-scale side of things, I'm back to working full 10 hour days and feel great. My chubby fingers have shrunk so all my rings fit again, and I can pull my jeans down without even unsnapping them. . And that's great since it's so frickin cold outside I can wear my really thick long undies under my baggy jeans.
