I see my surgeon on Monday (06/15/09) for my post-op appointment. I hope she either does a fill even though it's only 2 1/2 weeks since surgery or allows me to progress my diet. I'm totally fine with soft proteins but there is just no way I can last another 4 weeks being hungry like this because the protein shakes and cream soup just aren't cutting it. In fact, I'm probably taking in more calories doing all that stuff than I would if she just allowed me to have something to eat. Thanks for the congrats, Kristy. I took pics at the surgery center before I started the 3 month diet my insurance required, but the only pic I've taken since is of my surgery scars. My mom says she can see definite weight loss and the scale says almost 20lbs since surgery. I never even thought about take measurements, though. I'll have to see if I can find a tape measure and start using that because they keep telling me that with all the exercise I introduced since surgery that I might not see a lot of lost pounds for awhile, but I should still be losing inches.
