I love your pic. Thanks for the prayers! I made my weight.

Hi, I am really glad I am on the 'wild ride' of laparascopic gastric bypass' because I need to lose weight fast due to a bad hip that needs replacement. I have heard that LapBand, while effective, doesn't have us losing wt as fast as GBS. But your doctor knows best. I am now on a pureed diet for a couple of days, I have a total of four weeks on this diet, then a week of 'soft' food, then back to limited re-introduction of "regular" foods. Anyway, I have found amazingly, that I have lost 13lbs in the last four days. Went to my doctor four days ago, and then I was pleased that I was back down to my pre-surgical wt. (It's not unusual to gain wt. in the hospital, since they fill you up with IV fluids, etc. I had actually gained about six pounds while in the hospital, even though I walked a LOT in the hospital.) Anyway, I wish you all the best.
