Six weeks since I got my gizzard clipped and doing great. I had my six week check up yesterday and got a clean bill of health. I have lost a total of....drum roll please...81 lbs. That is crazy!!! 41 before and 40 since the operation. Today I began REGULAR food... not sure that that matters. I can only eat a 4-6 oz. meal at a time, but it is nice to have some options and to get back some of my taste buds. Like last night I had a little salad - first since September 6th! I am wearing pants that are six sizes smaller and my belts now wrap around to my back - better think about buying a new belt, huh? Overall, have done well. Only one time did I have a bad reaction to food. Ordered some Mahi Mahi fish -- too dense and hard to "get through" the pouch. So you throw up and all is better. My next check up is December 8th and the doctor has a goal of 16 lbs. -- I am looking at 23 lbs. and then I will be at my wedding weight! Keep praying!
