I posted some before and after photos under My Profile section. My surgery was 7 months ago and I've lost 64 pounds! I have recently started C25K and I'm on Week 4. I never would have guessed in a million years that I could jog for 16 minutes in a 30 minute period! I'm still in shock! I'd still like to lose 20-30 more pounds.

My whole family struggles with this, so I am overjoyed!

The first 24 hours after surgery was a little rough due to some bleeding (Not from the surgery but from the tube, My throat is damaged due to EOE) Once they got the bleeding under control then the road to recovery was easy.

As I look at the past year I am in amazement. The changes my body and health has gone thru is nothing short of AMAZING!

My health has improved, the surgery ...

I am just curious here. Is my doctor the only doctor who does not require a liquid diet prior to surgery? I have one more month to go before insurance is sent my information for approval. I asked about the liquid diet and was told the doctor doesnt put anyone on it. I am reading blogs, forums, etc on here and I seem to see everyone going thru that.
