Default 6 weeks and loosing

Finally went to the doctor today and had my 6 week check up. I thought 6 weeks would never get here. My doc doesn't allow meats or anything of substance till 6 weeks. Now I can officially have tuna, fish, and such.

I am soooo happy today. I thought I was stagnant at 31 pounds loss for about two weeks. I wasn't allowing myself to get tooo down due to all the comments on here but it was getting to be a bummer. According to the "official" doctors scale I am down 37 pounds. Thats 6 pounds over the ten percent of pre-op body weight that they want at 6 weeks.

Another good thing! I got all those tubes outta my tummy. The wound infection has cleared enough and closed to a point that I only have to gause it for a few more weeks...YAY. No more g-tube nothing!

I was so excited my wife took me to Red Lobster and bought me shrimp scampi. Took me three hours to eat 6 shrimp and a biscuit but boy they were the best I have ever had!

Thank you all for being here! It has been such a help!
