Wow, that is a huge loss. I'm sure given the move back to "real" food you'll gain it back and be able to exercise again. I suspect its more muscle loss too :-(
I'm kind of glad you mentioned this. I felt a little self-conscious about posting this because, well, it's a stereotype to make a post like this when you're actually bragging.
But, actually, I had a definite goal not to get under 150 lbs as a result of this surgery. It's not healthy to lose ten pounds in a week; but it's difficult to avoid when you don't eat at all for one day and then can have only clear liquids for the next several. So, I allowed myself those ten pounds but was feeling pretty good about keeping stable after that and staying well above 150. And I posted about that.
So, it seems only right to also post my shame.
I think part of it is definitely muscle; and I think part of it was getting sick of the paste/soup diet and not being as good as I should have. *hangs head*
Here's hoping I do a good job of up-adjusting my diet as I am adding more chewing back into the mix.
