I am a few days short of three weeks post-op.  I have lost 28lbs (by my first week visit) and not a pound since. :-( I'm sure its because I have been retaining lots of fluid, not drinking enough water and not taking my BP meds.  I got clearance to exercise last week so I am super psyched.  Also they told me to skip the pureed diet and go to right to soft.  I started at 300.  And I last weighed at 272.  That number also reflects the lowest weight I have achieved on my own in the past decade (four times) I cannot get past that number!!!! so I;m sure you can imagine my discouragement now that I'm stuck. My first fill will be 10/19.  I'm hoping with daily exercise, increased water and taking my meds I can get over the hump. But right now I'm feeling down today. 

I created a YouTube channel for my videos of this journey.  I am super excited.  Nothing2LoseButLBS

I woke up this morning feeling GREAT!  Joining this site yesterday along with some very inspiring YouTube videos really has motivated me so much more.  I made a phone call to each member of my support circle yesterday and shared my anxiety, nervousness and excitement.  I think I even cried a few times LOL.  I have four weeks to go and two more visits. Pulmonary, Cariac, and Nutrition.  I can't wait.  I created a channel on YouTube using the same name.  Nothing2LoseButLBS......gonna start making videos now.  I still haven't made my decision public. I don't think it's necessary to include the world (just yet). I don't need any negativity or judgement from ignorant people who don't understand WLS.  I will probably be going overboard with the blogs but it's not like anyone reads them anyway *shrug* LOL  Stay encouraged people.
