I had my six-week follow-up with the doctor's office last week. I've officially lost 24% of my excess weight. They like to see at least 20% by that point, so I'm a bit ahead of the curve.
Woo-hoo!
Also, six weeks marks the point where I begin Phase III of the diet. Phase I was liquid-only. It was... survivable. Phase II was the solid phase where I had to purée everything. It was better, but still a bit of a pain.
Phase III is the real meat of the diet plan, and it lasts until my six-month check-up. So it's the stage between "still healing" and "the rest of my life." I don't have to purée things anymore, and I can eat small quantities of vegetables and fruit. Well, I can eat non-starchy veggies and soft fruits.
