I am 17 days post and went for my 2 week follow up today. Okay, are you all sitting down? Can everyone hear me? I HAVE LOST 31 POUNDS SINCE THE WLS!!!!!!!!!! 31 31 31 I can't believe it!!! I feel incredible! I have an amazing amount of energy, no pain, no intolerance of anything so far. Just doing great! I have graduated to soft solids. You know, really cooked veggies, ground beef, fish out the wazoo and chicken if I am REAL careful about the chewing. HOORAY REAL FOOD! Although I could only eat 2oz of a broccoli, carrots and snap peas mixture for dinner, but they TASTED SOOOO GOOOD!!!!
