First post-op appointment

My first post-op follow-up appointment was today.  The nurse took out the clips or staples that were used as sutures (it didn't really hurt except for the ones near the breasts on the breast bone, those hurt somewhat but not terribly).  My wounds are healing well and it's actually a big relief to not have the clips anymore because they were bothering me (itching, pulling a bit).  The liquid diet is finished!  Yes!!!  I'm so happy to be done with that.  I'm now on pureed food for the next three weeks and if all goes well (i.e. if I can tolerate the texture and quantity), I can go back to eating normally by the end of those three weeks.  As for the weight loss...  I lost at least 34 pounds!!  I thought I had lost weight and was hoping for between 20 and 30 pounds but I must say that 34 pounds surpass all my expectations.  Actually, this morning, I was going back to work/school and I had planned on wearing a pair of black 3/4 palazzo-pants that I really like.  I put them on and had to take them off because they didn't fit anymore.  They were really too big for me to even think about wearing them.  Hurray!!  Me very-very happy!
