It has been10 days after surgery.. I feel great wounds start to heal, not so much pain when moving. for the first 4 days only liquid in in the hospital then what can go through a straw and today starting with smoothie... I have lost 17 punds in the month pre-op with a Keto diets and other 8 since surgery I started also some Phuladphia cheese according to doctor guideline.. but I realize in my mind I still have the before size.. I need to better monitor the sizes and stop when I feel full which is after a small portion now.. ... I hope to continue on the same path but reading your posts encourages me... thank you and to each one great journey together towards a better us
